Sinossi
Come riesce un artista a far accadere quella magia speciale che lo fa entrare in intima relazione con un pubblico che non ha mai incontrato? Patti Smith apre i suoi taccuini e lascia il lettore libero di sbirciare tra le connessioni inaspettate dell'invenzione all'opera. "Devotion" è un resoconto affascinante e dettagliato del processo creativo di una delle artiste più amate di tutti i tempi, attraverso storie di ossessione e devozione, e viaggi nei luoghi fonte della sua ispirazione, dalla casa di Camus a Lourmarin al giardino parigino dell'editore Gallimard, dove dialogano i fantasmi di Mishima, Nabokov e Genet, dalla tomba di Simone Weil nel cimitero di Ashford alle strade senza nome di Parigi dei romanzi di Patrick Modiano.

A worthwhile addition to the Patti Smith library. "Devotion" beautifully describes Patti Smith's attitude toward the creative life, as anyone who has read M Train or Just Kids can attest. This tiny volume is divided into three parts. The first, "How the Mind Works" is not analytical but illustrativ
Devotion is delivered to the reader in a bouquet of immortelle with a sword hidden in the middle. I've said it before and will continue to reiterate, Ms Smith's books are to be read slowly, methodically or you will miss the magic. I was ecstatic when Devotion finally arrived. I skipped through my home Leggi tutto
Liked the autobiographical parts, absolutely loathed thr short story/novella in the middle. I never want to read a book about a "16-year old girl" having an affair with a "man in his late thirties". Just. NO.
Truly an amazing experience. I guarantee 𝘵𝘩𝘦 self-assured hubris after reading.
