An Unforgettable odyssey of a legendary artist, told through the prism of the cafe's and haunts she has worked in around the world. It is a book Patti Smith has described as "a roadmap to my life." M Train begins in the tiny Greenwich Village cafe' where Smith goes every morning for black coffee, ruminates on the world as it is and the world as it was, and writes in her notebook. Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, and across a landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations, we travel to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico, to a meeting of an Artic explorer's society in Berlin: to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits; and to the graves Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima.
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2015. First edition. Hardcover. Very good +/fine. SIGNED. 253pp. Octavo [21 cm] Brown patterned paper over boards, with very minor sunning to the lower extremities. In the pictorial dust jacket, with a "Signed Copy" label on the front panel. A book described by Patti Smith as a road map to her life, detailing the locations she lived and worked. From the dust jacket- "Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's craft and on artistic creation. Here, too, are singular memories of Smith's life in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her husband. "Braiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated with her signature Polaroids, M Train is a meditation on travel, detective shows, literature, and coffee. It is a powerful, deeply moving book by one of the most remarkable multiplatform artists at work today." Signed by Patti Smith on the tipped-in front flyleaf.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: The National Book Awardâwinner Patti Smith presents a treasure box of a childhood memoir about âclear unspeakable joyâ and âjust the wish to know.â A great book about becoming an artist, Woolgathering tells of a youngster finding herself as she learns the noble vocation of woolgathering, âa worthy calling that seemed a good job for me.â She discovers often at night, often in nature the pleasures of rescuing âa fleeting thought.â Deeply moving, Wool- gathering calls up our own memories, as the child âglimpses and gleans, piecing together a crazy quilt of truths.â Smith introduces us to her tribe, âa race of cloud dwellers,â and to the fierce, vital pleasures of cloud watching and stargazing and wandering.(Publisher).
