'So honest and pure as to count as a true rapture' JOAN DIDION 'A
poetic masterpiece' JOHNNY DEPP 'Our St John of the Cross, a mystic
full of compassion' EDMUND WHITE 'A roadmap to my life', from the
National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids: an unforgettable
odyssey of a legendary artist, told through the prism of cafes and
haunts she has worked in around the world REVISED EDITION WITH FIVE
THOUSAND WORDS OF BONUS MATERIAL AND NEW PHOTOGRAPHS M Train begins
in the tiny Greenwich Village cafe where Smith goes every morning
for black coffee, ruminates on the world as it is and the world as
it was, and writes in her notebook. Through prose that shifts
fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, and across a
landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations, we travel to
Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico; to a meeting of an Arctic
explorer's society in Berlin; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in
New York's Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane
Sandy hits; and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud and Mishima.
Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's craft and on
artistic creation. Here, too, are singular memories of Smith's life
in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her husband, Fred Sonic
Smith. Braiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated with
her signature Polaroids, M Train is a meditation on travel,
detective shows, literature and coffee. It is a powerful, deeply
moving book by one of the most remarkable artists at work today.
