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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNamed 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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781984898920\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781984898920","offer_id":39420987670621,"sku":"9781984898920","price":13.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/0a6f58c5-5265-4689-84f4-75049eda040e.jpg?v=1781152351","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/year-of-the-monkey-von-patti-smith","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
