Krátky popis
A radiant new memoir from beloved artist and writer Patti Smith,
author of the National Book Award Winner Just Kids. ‘God whispers
through a crease in the wallpaper’, writes Patti Smith in this
indelible account of her life as an artist. A post-Second World War
childhood unfolds in a condemned housing complex described in
Dickensian detail: consumptive children, vanishing neighbours, an
infested rat house, and a beguiling book of Irish fairytales.We
enter the child’s world of the imagination where Smith, the captain
of her loyal and beloved sibling army, vanquishes bullies, communes
with the king of tortoises and searches for sacred silver pennies.
The most intimate of Smith’s memoirs, Bread of Angels takes us
through her teenage years where the first glimmers of art and
romance take hold. Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan emerge as creative
heroes and role models as Patti starts to write poetry, then
lyrics, merging both into the iconic songs and recordings such as
Horses and Easter, ‘Dancing Barefoot’ and ‘Because the Night’.She
leaves it all behind to marry her one true love, Fred Sonic Smith,
with whom she creates a life of devotion and adventure on a canal
in St. Clair Shores, Michigan with ancient willows and fulsome pear
trees. She builds a room of her own, furnished with a pillow of
Moroccan silk, a Persian cup, inkwell and fountain pen.The couple
spend nights in their landlocked Chris-Craft studying nautical maps
and charting new adventures as they start their family. As Smith
suffers profound losses, grief and gratitude are braided through
years of caring for her children, rebuilding her life and, finally,
writing again — the one constant in a life driven by artistic
freedom and the power of the imagination to transform the mundane
into the beautiful, the commonplace into the magical, and pain into
hope. In the final pages, we meet Patti on the road again, the
vagabond who travels to commune with herself, who lives to write
and writes to live.
