M Train

On the heels of “Just Kids,” one of the greatest memoirs of all time, comes “M Train.” This book takes the reader on a journey through eighteen “stations” as Smith remembers different turning points in her life. We begin at Cafe 'Ino, a now closed café in Greenwich Village where Patti used to drink black coffee and consider the state of the world. The journey continues as Smith reflects on her life and her craft. Reading Patti Smith is like stepping back into the pace of childhood, a luxury in today’s hectic world.
