DESCRIPTION

Devotion (Why I Write)

&#8220Deotion&nbspisshort enough to devour at one enjoyable sitting and thought-provoking enough to

deserve re-reading.&#8221#8212Suzi Feay, Financial Times &nbsp#8220Devotion shows rather than

tells what it means to give a life to writing. &#8221#8212Katherine Cooper, Hyperallergic A work of

creative brilliance may seem like magic&#8212it source a mystery, its impact unexpectedly stirring. How

does an artist accomplish such an achievement, connecting deeply with an audience never met? In this

groundbreaking book, one of our culture&#8217sbeloved artists offers a detailed account of her own

creative process, inspirations, and unexpected connections. &nbspPatti Smith, a National Book Awardwinning

author,&nbspfirt presents an original and beautifully crafted tale of obsession&#8212ayoung

skater who lives for her art, a possessive collector who ruthlessly seeks his prize, a relationship forged of

need both craven and exalted. She then takes us on a second journey, exploring the sources of her

story. We travel through the South of France to Camus&#8217shouse, and visit the garden of the great

publisher Gallimard where the ghosts of Mishima, Nabokov, and Genet mingle. Smith tracks down

Simone Weil&#8217sgrave in a lonely cemetery, hours from London, and winds through the nameless

Paris streets of Patrick Modiano&#8217snovels. Whether writing in a caf&#233or a train, Smith

generously opens her notebooks and lets us glimpse the alchemy of her art and craft in this arresting and

original book on writing. The&nbspWhyI Write&nbspseres is based on the Windham-Campbell Lectures,

delivered annually to commemorate the awarding of the Donald Windham-Sandy M. Campbell Literature

Prizes at Yale University.
