Year of the Monkey (Patti Smith)

Patti Smith
Year of the Monkey



A strange and lovely book of a year in Patti's life with both personal and societal trauma. This edition has the start of the Covid epidemic and lock downs. It's a mix of autobiography (albeit just a year or so) with dreams and fiction and fantasy thrown into the mix so you're not too sure where you are but it doesn't matter as it's readable and what's going on in Patti's head anyway. I wonder how the last 18 months have been for her.
