More fiction-ish than her past books, with passages that might be dreams or might be real life. Her dark thoughts about the current administration, and concern about issues such as climate change and immigration, come through clearly, though. On a side note, it seems like Patti Smith doesn't really need to be taking rides from strangers anymore. I was a little worried for her.
