PATTI SMITH is the author of Just Kids, which won the National Book Award in 2010, and of five collections of poetry. Her seminal album Horses has been hailed as one of the top 100 albums of all time. In 2005, the French Ministry of Culture awarded Smith the title of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres; she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
M Train is a journey through eighteen "stations." It begins in the tiny Greenwich Village café 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. We then travel, through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, across a landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations: from Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico, to a meeting of an Arctic explorer's society in Berlin; from the ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York's Far Rockaway that Smith buys just before Hurricane Sandy hits, to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's craft and on artistic creation, alongside signature memories including her life in Michigan with her husband, guitarist Fred Sonic Smith, whose untimely death was an irremediable loss. For it is loss, as well as the consolation we might salvage from it, that lies at the heart of this exquisitely told memoir, one augmented by stunning black-and-white Polaroids taken by Smith herself. M Train is a meditation on endings and on beginnings: a poetic tour de force by one of the most brilliant multiplatform artists at work today.
另一本是,三十三年梦。我想,人和书也是有际遇的。 这两本书,在书架上和其它未读书目间杂地列在一起,被我鬼使神差地同时开始阅读,惊诧其相似性之下,便顺理成章地缠绕在一起。 她们,我都不曾认识;她们各自都有更具才华更受好评的成名作,我都还不曾读。这两本,实际上是...
评分 评分出名儿了写些作家自己在做的事,在读的书,在想的念头,在喝的咖啡,在踱步的地板……我希望我的老一辈偶像们不要这样接地气,结果还是来不及剁手地加了购物车,感谢我没有收到书拍照发朋友圈就结束了,实际上我几乎做了这么多年来最多的一批“不着边际”的旁注,连“哈哈这个...
评分断断续续的在同一家咖啡馆里读完了这本处处有咖啡馆的书。忽然很好奇作者在年轻时候是一个什么人物,因为知道她很有名气,听过她的名字,而这本回忆录时候的她已经是个儿孙满堂的老年女人。说是回忆录,个人感觉更像她的一本随笔,想到哪里写到哪里,我好像从青年到时至如今的...
评分It is the loneliest thing in the world, waiting to be found.
评分Various delirious fever dreams written in the trace of memorial objects and subjects. Why was I crying so hard at the last chapter?
评分果然是秋天讀物
评分Patti奶奶字里行间时不时透露出孤独和哀伤啊。但她的文艺叫人不知所措……
评分一位正在老去的文青,她的coffee and tv, 和文艺朝圣之旅,她多愁善感的日常喃喃,她逝去的时光。
