Patti Smith has announced that her new memoir, M Train, a book about a journey through 18 “stations” as she writes about various turning points in her life. The book will also contain black-and-white Polaroids that the singer-songwriter took herself. According to Entertainment Weekly, M Train reads like a “roadmap” to Smith’s life, and includes reflections on her favorite coffee shops, her “deepest literary obsessions,” and the passing of her husband, MC5 guitarist Fred “Sonic” Smith. Plans for the new memoir originally surfaced back in 2012. Pre-orders have already begun. “I wanted to write a contemporary book or just write whatever I felt like writing about, and it’s things going from literature to coffee to memories of Fred in Michigan,” she told Rolling Stone. “It’s whatever I felt. I hopped on a train and kept going.” M Train will be released on October 6. Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
