Riveting elegant humorous-and illustrated by Smith's signature Polaroids-New York Times bestseller Year of the Monkey is a moving and original work a touchstone for our turbulent times. 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 in which she debates intellectual grifters and spars with the likes of a postmodern Cheshire Cat. Then in February 2016 a surreal lunar year begins bringing unexpected turns heightened mischief and inescapable sorrow. For Smith-inveterately curious always exploring always writing-this becomes a year of reckoning with the changes in life's gyre: with loss aging and a dramatic shift in the political landscape of America. Taking us from California to the Arizona desert from a Kentucky farm to the hospital room of a valued mentor Smith melds the western landscape with her own dreamscape in a haunting poetic blend of fact and fiction. As a stranger tells her Anything is possible. After all it's the Year of the Monkey. 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. Named one of NPR's Best Books of the Year-now including a new chapter Epilogue of an Epilogue and ten new photos-Year of the Monkey reminds us that despair and possibility often spring from the same source (Los Angeles Times).
