Overview

Un nuevo libro de memorias de la autora de Éramos unos niños, ganadora del National Book Award: «El año del Mono es la obra que más se parece a mí».

«Milagroso. [...] Una obra maestra. [...] Smith resplandece; se mueve por el mundo como un viajero en el tiempo, un espía, un vagabundo en la tierra de la literatura y la vida. Es un espejo humano.»- Maria Popova, Brain Pickings

Al contemplar mi imagen en la superficie gris mercurio de la tostadora, me fijé en que parecía joven y vieja al mismo tiempo.

Son las dos de la madrugada de la Nochevieja de 2015 cuando Patti Smith llega al Dream Motel, junto a la playa de Santa Cruz, tras dar un concierto en la legendaria sala Fillmore de San Francisco. Acaba de cumplir setenta años. En la primera mañana del año sale a dar un paseo y toma su primera polaroid del rótulo del hotel, con el que mantiene una lúcida conversación, como una Alicia moderna en su particular País de las Maravillas. La charla le inspira unos versos y decide volver a su habitación, desde cuya terraza escucha las olas y piensa en su amigo Sandy Pearlman, el famoso productor musical, que lleva dos días en coma. Él fue la persona que le sugirió en su juventud que montara una banda de rock. Así comienza un viaje por lugares como la Costa Oeste, el desierto de Arizona, Manhattan o Kentucky, pero también por parajes recordados o imaginados, del mundo exterior y del interior, en el que Patti Smith nos permite deambular a su lado como sus acompañantes más íntimos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

New York Times Best Seller

From the National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids and M Train, a profound, beautifully realized memoir in which dreams and reality are vividly woven into a tapestry of one transformative year.


Following a run of New Year's concerts at San Francisco's legendary Fillmore, Patti Smith finds herself tramping the coast of Santa Cruz, about to embark on a year of solitary wandering. Unfettered by logic or time, she draws us into her private wonderland with no design, yet heeding signs--including a talking sign that looms above her, prodding and sparring like the Cheshire Cat. In February, a surreal lunar year begins, bringing with it unexpected turns, heightened mischief, and inescapable sorrow. In a stranger's words, "Anything is possible: after all, it's the Year of the Monkey." For Smith--inveterately curious, always exploring, tracking thoughts, writing--the year evolves as one of reckoning with the changes in life's gyre: with loss, aging, and a dramatic shift in the political landscape of America.

Smith melds the western landscape with her own dreamscape. Taking us from California to the Arizona desert; to a Kentucky farm as the amanuensis of a friend in crisis; to the hospital room of a valued mentor; and by turns to remembered and imagined places, this haunting memoir blends fact and fiction with poetic mastery. The unexpected happens; grief and disillusionment set in. But as Smith heads toward a new decade in her own life, she offers this balm to the reader: her wisdom, wit, gimlet eye, and above all, a rugged hope for a better world.
