Patti Smith reads Sunday, October 6, at Benaroya Hall, presented by Seattle Arts & Lectures. STEVEN SEBRING
Did the world begin to collapse in 2016 because corporate greed reached its zenith as political courage reached its nadir, or because it was the Year of the Monkey in the Chinese zodiac? Mystic punk rocker Patti Smith investigates in Year of the Monkey.
This book follows Just Kids, a National Book Award–winning memoir about the Chelsea Hotel scene in the 1970s and Smith’s relationship with the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, and M Train, a series of reminiscences that Michiko Kakutani called “eloquent—and deeply moving” in the New York Times.
