Patti Smith: A Biography

About this book

Patti Smith is one of pop culture's true troubadours. Emerging from the New York punk scene of the mid-seventies whilst mixing poetry, underground theatre, jazz and rock, she has left a rebellious and individual legacy like no other. Arthur Rimbaud, Robert Mapplethorpe, Sam Shepard and Bruce Springsteen are just a few who have become associated with the Patti Smith legend. She has toured with Bob Dylan, opened for the New York Dolls, duetted with R.E.M. and written songs for film. Nick Johnstone unravels every facet of this strange and winding career, and makes fascinating sense of a complex creative who refused to compromise. This Omnibus Enhanced edition of Patti Smith: A Biography features an interactive timeline of her life, filled with audio, video and imagery of gigs, interviews, songs and memorabilia. Additionally, curated Spotify playlists allow you to listen to her greatest songs, her contemporaries in the punk scene, and more. Patti Smith: A Biography provides a compelling insight into the journey of a true artist; a unique story of creativity, passion and rebellion.
