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.

读后感

帕蒂在文章中写她对弗雷德的感情。“我对他的感情沾染了每一样事物——我作的诗，我怕写的歌，我全心全意都是他”。 这本书是我的爱人送我的生日礼物，我无意中的一句，他便把它送给我。在春节来临之前，在快递停运之前，在巨大的煎熬感到来之前，这本手被怀揣在我的心上。我喜...  

不是说M Train写的不好，只是比起Just Kids，这个时候的Patti失去了几乎所有所爱之人，二三好友，独居生活，再多的猫也不能让她像20多岁时候那样温柔放荡了。也是这个时候我才意识到，人是不能完全孤独的。 她还唱歌，她还写诗，她的工装裤，她的黑针织帽，她热爱的一切都陪伴...

去年12月的诺奖典礼，帕蒂·史密斯作为文学奖获奖者迪伦的挚友出席并翻唱《A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall》，在媒体所谓“一位摇滚传奇向另一位传奇的致敬”的渲染期待中，帕蒂两度紧张到忘词并申请重唱，一度成为新闻。此事发生在长期被人们乐此不疲地冠以“摇滚桂冠诗人”、“...  

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...
