"It took a decade to write this book, grappling with the beauty and sorrow of a lifetime." Patti Smith announces new memoir Bread of Angels

Patti Smith.

Patti Smith has announced a fourth memoir, Bread of Angels, to be published on November 4.

The publication date is described as “especially meaningful” to Smith, as it is both the birthday of her late partner Robert Mapplethorpe, and the anniversary of her late husband Fred 'Sonic Smith’s death.
