About this Item
A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. Patti Smith presents an original and beautifully crafted tale of obsession a young skater who lives for her art, a possessive collector who ruthlessly seeks his prize, a relationship forged of need both craven and exalted. She then takes us on a second journey, exploring the sources of her story. We travel through the South of France to Camus s house, and visit the garden of the great publisher Gallimard where the ghosts of Mishima, Nabokov, and Genet mingle. Smith tracks down Simone Weil s grave in a lonely cemetery, hours from London, and winds through the nameless Paris streets of Patrick Modiano s novels. Whether writing in a café or a train, Smith generously opens her notebooks and lets us glimpse the alchemy of her art and craft in this arresting and original book on writing.
