SMITH PATTI

ΠΑΤΙ ΚΑΙ ΡΟΜΠΕΡΤ
Το καλοκαίρι που πέθανε ο Κολτρέιν, το καλοκαίρι της αγάπης και των ταραχών. Μια τυχαία συνάντηση στο Μπρούκλιν οδηγεί δύο νέους στο μονοπάτι της τέχνης, της αφοσίωσης και της μύησης. Η Πάτι Σμιθ θα γίνει ποιήτρια και μουσικός και ο Ρόμπερτ Μέιπλθορπ θα διοχετεύσει το ακραία προκλητικό στιλ του στην τέχνη της φωτογραφίας. Ενωμένοι με τα δεσμά της αθωότητας και του ενθουσιασμού διασχίζουν τη Νέα Υόρκη από το Κόνι Άιλαντ μέχρι την 42η Οδό. Το 1969 το ζευγάρι καταλύει στο περίφημο Hotel Chelsea. Είναι μια εποχή έντονης ευαισθητοποίησης. Ο κόσ...

(P/B) THE CORAL SEA
Several hours before Robert died I asked him how I might best serve him in his absence. We both knew he was dying, and despite all mortal agony the conversation flowed as it might at any time in our lives. We spoke of work, the source of our common devotion, which only strengthened with his departure. Robert asked me to write a preface for Flowers, his forthcoming book. Take care of my flowers, he said. I will do it, I told him. He asked me if I would write our story. He knew it was etched in my memory, for he had often asked me to tell it...

(P/B) M TRAIN
M Train begins in the tiny Greenwich Village cafe 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. Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, and across a landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations, we travel to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico; to a meeting of an Arctic explorer's society in Berlin; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York's Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits...

M TRAIN
Η θρυλική Πάτι Σμιθ θυμάται στιγμές από τη ζωή της ανατρέχοντας στους τόπους και στα στέκια στα οποία βρέθηκε. Το μικρό καφέ στο Γκρίνουιτς Βίλατζ όπου έπαιρνε καθημερινά το πρωινό της. Τις επισκέψεις της στους τάφους του Ζαν Ζενέ, της Σίλβια Πλαθ και του Αρθούρου Ρεμπό. Τα χρόνια που έζησε στο Μίσιγκαν μαζί με τον άντρα της, τον Φρεντ Σόνικ Σμιθ, τον οποίο έχασε το 1994. Με το "M Train" η Πάτι Σμιθ μετακινείται στις περιοχές της μνήμης της. Ένα στοχαστικό κείμενο για τα ταξίδια, τις αστυνομικές σειρές, τη λογοτεχνία και την απόλαυση του κ...

(H/B) WOOLGATHERING
In this small, luminous memoir, the National Book Award winner Patti Smith revisits the most sacred experiences of her early years, with truths so vivid they border on the surreal. The author entwines her childhood self and its "clear, unspeakable joy" with memories both real and envisioned from her twenties on New York's MacDougal Street, the street of cafe's. Woolgathering was completed, in Michigan, on Patti Smith's 45th birthday and originally published in a slim volume from Raymond Foye's Hanuman Books. Twenty years later, New Directi...

(P/B) YEAR OF THE MONKEY
Following a run of New Year's concerts at San Francisco's legendary Fillmore, Patti Smith finds herself tramping the coast of Santa Cruz, about to embark on a year of solitary wandering. Unfettered by logic or time, she draws us into her private wonderland, with no design yet heeding signs, including a talking sign that looms above her, prodding and sparring like the Cheshire Cat. In February, a surreal lunar year begins, bringing with it unexpected turns, heightened mischief, and inescapable sorrow. In a stranger's words, "Anything is pos...
