It is a book Patti Smith has described as \"a roadmap to my life.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eM Train\u003c\/i\u003e 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 Arctic explorer's society in Berlin; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York's Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits; and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWoven 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, Fred Sonic Smith. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBraiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated with her signature Polaroids, \u003ci\u003eM Train\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781101875100\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.16 Inches, Length: 5.47 Inches, Weight: 0.9375 Pounds, Width: 0.86 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patti Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53112352997683,"sku":"9781101875100","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/9781101875100.jpg?v=1772767221","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/m-train","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
