Female protagonist

Endlich: Die Fortsetzung von »Just Kids« ist da! In »M Train« erzählt Patti Smith von ihrer Ehe mit Fred Sonic Smith, von ihren Lieblingsbüchern und von Dingen und Menschen, die sie im Laufe ihres Lebens verloren hat und die dadurch für sie nur an Bedeutung gewonnen haben. Patti Smith nimmt den Leser mit in unzählige Cafés auf der ganzen Welt, in denen sie schreibt, malt, Listen komponiert und nachdenkt. Über alte Zeiten, über die Gegenwart und über die Bücher, die sie gerade liest oder dringend wieder lesen muss. Bis zu 14 Tassen Kaffee trinkt man mit ihr pro Tag und schweift dabei zusammen mit ihr durch ihr Leben, von den 1980er-Jahren bis heute. Es geht auf spektakuläre Reisen, z.B. nach Französisch-Guyana auf den Spuren von Genet oder zu den Gräbern seelenverwandter Künstler (Sylvia Plath, Rimbaud, Frida Kahlo). Immer wieder kommt Patti Smith auf für sie wichtige Autoren zurück: auf Murakami, Bolaño, Wittgenstein und Bulgakow. Jede Geschichte ist gespickt mit kleinen Besonderheiten: Begegnungen, Gegenständen, Bildern, die Patti Smith wie kaum eine andere auratisch aufzuladen versteht. Eine wunderbare Meditation über das Reisen, über kreatives Schaffen und die hohe Kunst der Kontemplation. Mit zahlreichen von Patti Smith aufgenommenen Polaroidfotos.
