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.

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”、“...
評分 評分Patti说她可以记得梦境里发生的一切。我把这本书看作是她的一个梦。我们都沉浸在里面,踏上这一列时光列车。 大多数时候天空是灰蒙蒙的。很湿漉。三岛由纪夫的金阁寺,热内的圣洛朗监狱,黑塞的打字机,普拉斯雪中的墓碑,伍尔夫的手杖,波拉尼奥的椅子。。。Patti拍的照片一幕...
評分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...
擁有和失去,在黑咖啡的夢與醒之間,全書開篇第一句:it's not so easy writing about nothings,而這即是一本關於“無”(nothing)的迴憶錄,是迄今讀過最動人的迴憶錄。
评分最喜歡她的黑大衣的由來。看見她心心念念的想要把十九世紀幾塊琉璃帶到蘭波墓前簡直要哭。a completely different reading experience from Just Kids but I can't complain - she basically shaped me for who I am today.
