M Train: A Memoir [Smith, Patti] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. M Train: A Memoir

Review: The pieces add up - I thought Just Kids was a very good book, but M Train is even more up my alley. Just Kids employed a more straight narrative, a story arc mostly about a specific relationship. Although there are certain threads that run throughout M Train, like her husband Fred Sonic Smith, the passage of time, musings on other artists, TV crime shows and, yes, coffee, it is more scattered and fragmented. You dip in and out of thoughts and experiences in a way I really like, mixing the everyday with ideas about art, memories and reflections on an assortment of things. It feels intimate and it's easy to relate to these writings. Great book that should work for both people familiar and unfamiliar with Patti Smith.
Review: Patti Smith is a master! - Patti Smith's story telling is a national treasure. Completely immersive into the otherwise solitary life of a writer, filled with emotional moments in the authors life and what it means to carry on. Beautifully written, I could read this over and over again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Life Well Lived
*by M***G on January 31, 2016*

"Jesus died, for somebody's sins, but not mine..." was my introduction to Patti Smith in 1977. Even as a googly-eyed college freshman, I knew she was an artist to be reckoned with. So from my "Horses" alpha to the "M Train" omega, it has been a wonderful journey. This is a ruminative book that is probably best experienced while engaging in two of Ms. Smith's favorite passions, drinking coffee and snuggling with cats. It is a reverential narrative about her one true love, Fred Sonic Smith, and the various artists she has been touched by in her life, all of whom she seemingly pays homage to by making pilgrimages to their grave sites. As in most stories, the journey is more interesting than the destination, as she travels to Tokyo, Mexico City, Berlin, London, and Tangiers. More than anything, the freedom that comes with age allows her to indulge her whims, such as holing up in London hotels to marathon watch detective series, join the eccentric Continental Drift Society and buy a ramshackle sea front home at Rockaway Beach just before Hurricane Sandy. In between we get large doses of her human side - she seems to lose everything while traveling, and spends hours writing and musing at the now-closed Cafe 'Ino in the West Village. Her children are grown, and the love of her life as well as her friends and mentors are now dead. But she carries on, with a dignity and grace that is something to behold.
