Hardback. Condition: Very Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A radiant new memoir from artist and writer Patti Smith, author of the National Book Award winner Just Kids A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: TIME, NPR, THE NEW YORKER "God whispers through a crease in the wallpaper," writes Patti Smith in this moving account of her life. A post-World War II childhood unfolds in a condemned housing complex where we enter the child's world of the imagination. Smith, the captain of her loyal and beloved sibling army, vanquishes bullies, communes with the king of tortoises, and searches for sacred silver pennies. The most intimate of Smith's memoirs, Bread of Angels takes us through her teenage years where the first glimmers of art and romance take hold. Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan emerge as creative role models as she begins to write poetry then lyrics, ultimately merging both into the songs of iconic recordings such as Horses, Wave, and Easter. She leaves it all behind to marry her one true love, Fred Sonic Smith, with whom she creates a life of devotion and adventure on a canal in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. Here, she invents a room of her own, a low table, a Persian cup, inkwell and pen, entering at dawn to write. The couple spend nights in their landlocked Chris-Craft studying nautical maps and charting new adventures as they start a family. A series of profound losses mark her life. Grief and gratitude are braided through years of caring for her children, rebuilding her life and, finally, writing again--the one constant in a life driven by artistic freedom and the power of the imagination to transform the commonplace into the magical, and pain into hope. In the final pages, we meet Smith on the road again, the vagabond who travels to commune with herself, who lives to write and writes to live.…

William S. Burroughs "Patti Smith is an intergenerational goddess." Montserrat Dominguez "God whispers through a wrinkle in the wallpaper," writes Patti Smith in these extraordinary memoirs in which, from her first memory to her current concerns, she weaves an unforgettable tale of a life devoted to beauty, music, poetry, and love. Born into a working-class family shortly after World War II, her Dickensian childhood was spent between evictions and illnesses, interspersed with games and storybooks that opened the doors to a world full of magic and dreams of freedom. She soon discovered in Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan the models for her own poems and songs, and in New York, a new artistic territory where she formed a band and composed legendary albums such as Horses and Because the Night. Love and family, loss and reconstruction, and always writing will be the constants of a life driven by artistic freedom and the power of imagination to transform the everyday into the sacred, the common into the magical, and pain into hope.
