Patti Smith's new book is an amazing odyssey of the legendary singer, a journey from the present to the past and back, a path between dreams and reality, a path from depression to inspiration. The reader will visit Frida Kahlo's Blue House, at a meeting of the Continental Drift Club in Berlin, and at the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. In this book, despair is intertwined with hope, and longing with love, and everything is illuminated by the talent of a writer who has already received a National Book Award for her first book of memoirs, Just Kids.
