Review: The Year of the Monkey by Patti Smith

Memoir shading into dream, everyday life into imagination that reveals truths as it goes beyond fact. Meditations that are melancholy, even bleak, with age and the looming deaths of friends and the state of America in 2016, but that are also, through their weariness, curious and playful and fully engaged with life. I love Smith’s writing, and this is true to form.
