Year of the Monkey

I read [b:Just Kids 341879 Just Kids Patti Smith https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1259762407l/341879.SY75.jpg 332242] and loved it despite being only a very casual fan of Patti Smith previously; her writing was so lovely and the story so compelling that it didn't matter so much to me that I didn't know all of the musical/artistic references she was making.That was...less the case here. It's an odd, dreamlike memoir that literally includes a lot of recaps of her dreams woven in and out of reality. On the sentence level it's lovely and there are some beautiful reflections on life and mortality, but my overall reaction to reading this was ¯_(ツ)_/¯
