Insightful essays about discovering the world—and yourself.
Here are two works in one audiobook by Patti Smith. In “Devotion,” the writer doesn’t simply tell stories—she shows that creativity is akin to magic, that inspiration draws from the most unexpected sources, and that the listener is magically drawn into the atmosphere created in the audiobook. “A Year of the Monkey” is a story of a seventy-year-old writer’s journey through America. She meets the past, considers the present from unexpected angles, sinks into memories, and reflects on her life.
