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.
想不想吃一块藏红花蛋糕。 泡杯薄荷茶吧。 不着边际的写作可没那么容易。愿你永远都能不着边际地写下去。 你有着明亮的眼睛啊。 这列M Train. 怀抱各式各样疯狂的指望。 颓废敏感暴躁的艺术性格。 情怀且偏执。 那么情怀啊,那么浪漫啊。 诗歌与摇滚。抱怨好像也没什么不好。这...

评分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...
评分昨天坐地铁无聊时自己又感慨了一下:感觉人生真的就像一辆列车 一辆永不停息的列车 每个阶段总会有一部分人上车 也总会有一部分人下车 你不能因为你而去控制别人的上下车 每个人目的地不同 方向也不同 而上下车只是代表短暂的离别 车途后的联系也是另外一回事 而在上下车的每个...
评分Patti Smith是我心中最纯粹的文艺青年(现在是老年了),这本书中她提到许多她热爱的艺术家和文艺作品,虽然是本散文集,但着实干货满满,在此边读边把一些看似有趣的作品名字记录下来,以后慢慢研究。 <The Beach Cafe> - Mohammed Mrabet https://book.douban.com/sub...
It is the loneliest thing in the world, waiting to be found.
评分最喜欢她的黑大衣的由来。看见她心心念念的想要把十九世纪几块琉璃带到兰波墓前简直要哭。a completely different reading experience from Just Kids but I can't complain - she basically shaped me for who I am today.
评分拥有和失去,在黑咖啡的梦与醒之间,全书开篇第一句:it's not so easy writing about nothings,而这即是一本关于“无”(nothing)的回忆录,是迄今读过最动人的回忆录。
评分A book about lost things and memories. Loved the story of the black coat. I also long to visit Bronte sisters' country.
评分It is the loneliest thing in the world, waiting to be found.
