From the National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids: an unforgettable odyssey of a legendary artist, told through the prism of cafés and haunts around the world. It is a book Patti Smith has described as "a roadmap to my life" in which she documents her travels with exquisite Polaroids of artists' totems: Bolano's chair, Kahlo's crutches, Virginia Woolf's walking stick.
A meditation on loss, a call to life, a poetic tour de force.
