A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids 'Magical' GUARDIAN 'A gripping tale of the search for meaning in times of turbulence - expressed with Smith's signature poetic flair' VOGUE 'Extraordinary ... A tense, teasing mix of reality and dream' Sunday Times 'A melancholy mood and poetic language distinguish Smith's third memoir' BBC 'Her willingness to look closely at life's closing chapters makes for a magical book' WASHINGTON POST, 'The 10 books to read in September' 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 possible: after all, it's the year of the monkey." For Patti Smith - inveterately curious, always exploring, tracking thoughts, writing the year evolves as one of reckoning with the changes in life's gyre: with loss, aging, and a dramatic shift in the political landscape of America.
Smith melds the Western landscape with her own dreamscape. Taking us from Southern California to the Arizona desert; to a Kentucky farm as the amanuensis of a friend in crisis; to the hospital room of a valued mentor; and by turns to remembered and imagined places - this haunting memoir blends fact and fiction with poetic mastery. The unexpected happens; grief and disillusionment. But as Patti Smith heads toward a new decade in her own life, she offers this balm to the reader: her wisdom, wit, gimlet eye, and above all, a rugged hope of a better world.
Riveting, elegant, often humorous, illustrated by Smith's signature Polaroids, Year of the Monkey is a moving and original work, a touchstone for our turbulent times.

Réédition en format broché pour ce livre profondément émouvant et brillamment idiosyncrasique de l'autrice lauréate du Prix National du Livre avec Just Kids and M Train, qui présente plus de 365 images et réflexions qui illustrent l'esthétique singulière de Patti Smith - inspirée de son Instagram très populaire. En 2018, sans plan ni agenda pour la suite, Patti Smith a posté sa première photo sur Instagram : sa main avec le simple message « Bonjour tout le monde! » Connue pour tourner avec sa bien-aimée Land Camera 250, Smith a commencé à publier des images de son téléphone, y compris des portraits de ses enfants, de son radiateur, de ses bottes et de son chat abyssinien, le Caire. Les adeptes ont ressenti une affinité immédiate avec ces fenêtres miniatures dans le monde de Smith, des photos de son café quotidien, les livres qu'elle lit, les tombes de héros bien-aimés - William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil, Albert Camus. Au fil du temps, une histoire cohérente d'une vie consacrée à l'art a pris forme, et plus d'un million d'adeptes ont répondu à l'esthétique unique de Smith dans des images qui illustrent ses passions, ses dévotions, ses obsessions et ses caprices. Les originaux de ce livre sont des photographies vintage : perles d'anniversaire, porte-clés d'une mère et guitare mosrite d'un mari. Ici, aussi, sont des photos des archives de Smith de la vie sur et hors de la route, gares, cafés obscurs, un cahier toujours à proximité. Dans des notes quotidiennes à la fois vastes et intimes, Mme Smith partage des dépêches de ses voyages à travers le monde. Avec plus de 365 photographies qui vous emmènent à travers une seule année, A Book of Days est une nouvelle façon de découvrir l'esprit expansif du poète, écrivain et interprète visionnaire. Plein d'espoir, élégiaque, ludique - et complété par une introduction de Smith qui explore son processus documentaire - A Book of Days est une offre intemporelle pour une période profondément incertaine, une carte inspirante de la vie d'un artiste.

An American original, Patti Smith is a multi-disciplined artist and performer. Her work is rooted in poetry, which infused her 1975 landmark album, Horses . A declaration of existence, Horses was described as 'three chords merged with the power of the word'; it was graced with the now iconic portrait by Robert Mapplethorpe, the subject of her award-winning memoir Just Kids .
Initially published in 1998, Patti Smith's Complete Lyrics was a testimony to her uncompromising poetic power. Now, on the fortieth anniversary of the release of Smith's groundbreaking album, Collected Lyrics has been revised and expanded with more than thirty-five additional songs, including her first, 'Work Song', written for Janis Joplin in 1970, and her most current, 'Writer's Song', to be recorded in 2015. The collection is liberally illustrated with original manuscripts of lyrics from Smith's extensive archive.
Patti Smith's work continues to retain its relevance, whether controversial, political, romantic or spiritual. Collected Lyrics offers forty-five years of song, an enduring commemoration of Smith's unique contribution to the canon of rock and roll. -
Ce volume regroupe les photographies de sculptures réalisées par l'artiste Patti Smith depuis une trentaine d'années.
