From the renowned artist and author Patti Smith, a rare and generous look into the creative process

Môžu byť ženy geniálne? Prečo sme sa v škole učili len o dvoch či troch výnimočných ženách? A kde boli všetky ostatné? Táto brilantne rafinovaná knižka plná zábavných karikatúr odhaľuje niektoré z pomýlených mužských teórií o ženách. Názory „géniov“ ovplyvňovali osudy žien a tie boli nútené zotrvať v „domácom kruhu“. Našli sa však medzi nimi aj také, ktoré sa vzopreli konvenciám. Prečo sa nadané ženy tak ťažko dostávajú do učebných osnov dejepisu? Aj o tom sa dozviete v tejto knižke.

This book begins in the Greenwich Village café where Smith goes every morning for black coffee, ruminates on the world as it is and the world as it was, and writes in her notebook. Through prose that shifts between dreams and reality and across a landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations, we travel to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico; to a meeting of an Arctic explorer's society in Berlin; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York's Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits; and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's craft and on artistic creation. Here, too, are singular memories of Smith's life in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her husband, Fred Sonic Smith
