Devotion (Why I Write)

Patti Smith's "Devotion" is a rare and intimate account of her creative process, offering a detailed look into the sources of her inspiration and the alchemy of her art.

Through original tales of obsession and exploration, Smith takes readers on a journey through the South of France, Camus's house, Gallimard's garden, Simone Weil's grave, and the nameless streets of Patrick Modiano's novels.

With generous openness, Smith lets us glimpse the creative process behind her National Book Award-winning works, making this book an arresting and original read.

Whether writing in a café or on a train, "Devotion" is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of writing and the creative process.
