Description
Patti Smith's Devotion is a deeply personal and insightful exploration of her creative process. The artist and author shares her own experiences with obsession, connection, and the alchemy of art. Smith takes readers on a journey through her inspirations, tracing the sources of her stories to Camus's house in the South of France, Simone Weil's grave in a lonely cemetery, and the streets of Patrick Modiano's Paris novels. Along the way, she reveals the craft behind her writing, from the café to the train. This book is part of The Why I Write series, which brings together Patti Smith's Windham-Campbell Lectures for a unique and original look at the art of writing.
