Adam reviewed M train by Patti Smith
M train
I found the first half easy, drawn in by Patti Smith's recounting of a cherished daily routine, but the second half was more difficult as she attempted to break our of a malaise, wonder about loss and evoke the kinds of feelings that words will often fail to provoke. Sometimes it made me angry that she tried, but in the end we are witnessing a person figure out some big universals in the only ways they know how and it was certainly interesting to observe, and made me more conscious of the ways I move through my own world.
