Patti Smith in Conversation with Michael Patrick MacDonald

October 11, 2016 | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

$25

Brookline Booksmith and WBUR are proud to present Patti Smith, the National Book Award–winning author of Just Kids, in conversation with Boston native Michael Patrick MacDonald (All Souls) on the occasion of the paperback release M Train. Her latest book, M Train is an unforgettable odyssey of a legendary artist, told through the cafés and haunts she has worked in around the world. It is a book Patti Smith has described as “a roadmap to my life.” Braiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated with her signature Polaroids, M Train is a meditation on travel, detective shows, literature, and coffee. It is a powerful, deeply moving book by one of the most remarkable multiplatform artists at work today.

 

This conversation will be followed by a performance of a few songs with Tony Shanahan.

Tickets to the event are $25 each and include a paperback copy of M Train. Purchase here.
