From the Country wide Book Award-winning writer of Just Kids: an memorable odyssey of a legendary artist informed through the prism of the cafés and haunts she's worked in across the world. It really is a reserve Patti Smith has described as "a road map to my entire life". M Train starts in the tiny Greenwich Town café where Smith will go every morning for black coffee, ruminates on the planet as it is and the planet as it was, and writes in her notebook. Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and fact, recent and present, and across a panorama of creative aspirations and inspirations, we happen to be Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico; to a gathering of Arctic explorer's population in Berlin; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York's Way Rockaway, which Smith acquires right before Hurricane Sandy visits; also to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's build and on imaginative creation. Here, too, are singular memories of Smith's life in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her man, Fred Sonic Smith. Braiding despair with hope and consolation, M Train is a yoga on travel, detective shows, literature, and coffee. It really is a robust, deeply moving reserve by one of the most remarkable multiplatform music artists at work today.
