Women Lit #UNBOUND: Extraordinary Dreamer: Musical and Literary Icon Patti Smith’s Year of The Monkey
Thursday, October 8 at 7:00 PM | 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
ONE-TIME ONLY EVENT, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN! This reading, discussion and performance, direct from Patti’s studio, will NOT be shared online later. Though virtual, it’s like a concert that will never be repeated. Join us for an unforgettable experience!
Patti Smith redefined rock and roll for a generation, defied conventional expectations at every turn, and created enough zeitgeist-shaping art for more than one lifetime. Now she has something new and beautiful to share: a “beautiful, elegant, and poetic” (NPR) memoir chronicling a transformational year of personal loss, cross-country travel, and political upheaval. Year of the Monkey reprises the spellbinding storytelling we all fell in love with in her National Book Award-winning Just Kids and bestselling M Train, conjuring the complexity and magic of an extraordinary dreamer’s inner life. In this unique experience, Patti will play a few songs with longtime band mate Tony Shanahan and share passages from Year of the Monkey.
Event Admission: $35
Includes a paperback copy of Year of the Monkey from our partner, City Lights Booksellers.
