    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 Patti 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 Southern 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. But as
    Patti 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 of a better world.

    Riveting, elegant, often humorous, illustrated by Smith's signature


    Polaroids, Year of the Monkey is a moving and original work, a
    touchstone for our turbulent times.
