Éramos unos niños
GANADOR DEL NATIONAL BOOK AWARD El libro icónico de Patti Smith, en el que cuenta su relación con Robert Mapplethorpe: un homenaje a la amistad cuyas páginas cargadas de vitalidad y humor nos devuelven el sabor de un Nueva York donde casi todo era posible. Fue el verano en que murió Coltrane. [ ] Los hippies alzaron sus brazos vacíos y China hizo detonar la bomba de hidrógeno. Jimi Hendrix prendió fuego a su guitarra en Monterrey. [...] Fue el verano del amor. Y en aquel clima cambiante e inhóspito, un encuentro casual cambió el curso de mi vida. Fue el verano en que conocí a Robert Mapplethorpe. Sucedió en el mes de julio de 1967 y eran unos niños, pero a partir de entonces Patti Smith y Robert Mapplethorpe sellaron una amistad que solo acabaría con la muerte del gran fotógrafo, en 1989. De eso habla este espléndido libro de memorias, ganador del National Book Award, de la vida en común de dos artistas, los dos entusiastas y apasionados, que cruzaron a grandes pasos la periferia de Nueva York para llegar hasta el centro neurálgico del nuevo arte. Fue así como acabaron instalándose en el hotel Chelsea y se convirtieron en los protagonistas de un mundo hoy ya desaparecido donde reinaban Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol y sus chicos, y se creaban las grandes bandas de música que marcaron los últimos años del siglo XX, mientras el sida hacía estragos. Lejos de ser un libro triste y nostálgico, Éramos unos niños constituye un homenaje a la amistad sin trabas, y sus páginas, cargadas de vitalidad y humor, nos devuelven el sabor de esa gran ciudad donde hubo un tiempo en que casi todo era posible. La crítica ha dicho: «Este libro es tan íntegro y puro que supone un auténtico éxtasis.» Joan Didion «Un relato conmovedor del afán de unos seres dispuestos a poner sus almas al servicio del arte, inspirados por Rimbaud, Dylan, Genet y otros nombres idolatrados.» Rafa Cervera, Babelia, El País «Patti Smith no solo es una gran artista, es una hechicera, es decir, alguien en contacto con otros niveles de la realidad.» William S. Burroughs «Patti Smith es una diosa intergeneracional.» Montserrat Domínguez «Patti Smith nos ha honrado con una obra maestra, una espléndida invitación a abrir un cofre de los tesoros que nunca antes se había abierto.» Johnny Depp «Patti Smith fue hace tiempo el heraldo salvaje de Rimbaud, pero el dolor la convirtió en un San Juan de la Cruz, una persona mística llena de misericordia.» Edmund White «No lo podrás soltar y querrás más cuando lo termines.» Cristina Sánchez de Pedro, Marie Claire « Éramos unos niños es una oda a Mapplethorpe, pero también una carta de amor al arte de los años setenta en Nueva York.» Time Out New York «Tiene Patti Smith una forma de escribir que arropa sin llegar nunca a tocarte. Como un extraño limbo en vida. Como una vuelta al vientre materno en la que hasta el día más oscuro sucede en la más imperturbable paz. Una manera de crear que solo está al alcance de personas con una sensibilidad tan afilada que son capaces de conectarse con otros mundos. Capaces de intuir el más allá -sea lo que sea eso- y devolverlo al más acá en composiciones que flotan en el aire y enraízan en los campos al mismo tiempo. Da igual si es una canción, un poema, un dibujo o una fotografía: todo en ella invita a trascender.» Eva Blanco Medina, Vogue

"Features 250 black-and-white photographs Smith took over the past four decades. Land 250 - whose title also refers to the vintage Polaroid camera Smith used - presents images that appear both weathered and timeless: craggy stone walls, spare interiors, and near-abstract still lifes. Anecdotes accompany many of the photos"--Bookforum website.

The Truth about the Daycare System
Like an athlete I am on a quest, a mountain to be climbed. Through my daycare career and the ups and downs of those times I have decided to write a book on my experiences. A book that I''d hope would reach the hands and the eyes of ALL parents with young children. It is my hope and dream to expose the REAL DAYCARE SYSTEM and enlighten and educate parents in a way that only an insider can do. The emotional future of our children is at stake. There is a passion inside of me to do this. I feel I know my purpose. Please pray for me that my words and my experiences may change a life hopefully more than one. This is real!!! AS real as that athlete who had no athletic ability but persisted and got the medal. You who know me, Know that I am passionate, I am deep, and I am wordy. Please pray that those strengths in me guide me to my Olympics of sorts. The race to the truth and the climb to a better childcare system.
