Bound for prison to pay for a murder he didn't commit, the stagecoach Link Houston, is riding in is all but obliterated by the storm's fury. Link, though badly injured, rushes back to Endless to save his sweetheart, the lovely preacher's daughter, Laura Sontag, and to try to clear his (not-so-good) name. What Lind finds in Endless is more serious than he could have ever imagined. It's not the devastation of the tornado that Link must battle, but a much worse fate brought to town by a mysterious stranger.
By taking the literary traveler on seven preplanned tours—through the Delta, along Highway 61, to the heart of Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha country, to sites near Interstate 55 and the Natchez Trace, to the piney woods of East and South Mississippi, and along the sun-struck Gulf Coast—this book captures the phenomenal abundance and diversity of Mississippi literature. More than a guidebook, this book includes capsule biographies and well over a hundred photographs of writers, their residences, and their literary environments. It also provides maps and gives explicit directions to writers’ homes and other literary sites. The sheer number of writers discovered, recovered, and claimed by Mississippi will astonish travelers both from within and from without the state. Included are not only such major figures in the pantheon of American literature as William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Tennessee Williams, and Richard Wright but also the less well-known. Every nook and cranny of the state claims a piece of Mississippi’s literary heritage. Literature pervades Yazoo City, Jackson, Greenville, Oxford, Natchez, the Gulf Coast, and the Delta Blues country. Willie Morris, Richard Ford, and Beverly Lowry have declared that a famous writer’s presence in their hometowns convinced them that they too could be writers. As the locations bring to life the connection of ordinary rituals with the stuff of fiction, poetry, and memoir, these hands-on tours make evident the special cross-pollination of writer and community in Mississippi.
A new trade publication of Before Easter After, originally published in a limited edition at $1,000. Hundreds of rarely seen images by legendary photographer Lynn Goldsmith offer an intimate portrait of rock ’n’ roll icon Patti Smith during a transformative moment in her career. Images of Smith performing on stage combine with candid behind-the-scenes photographs and striking studio shoots to create a deeply personal look at the singer during her rise to fame. The photographs include Smith’s life-changing accident while on tour in 1977 and the aftermath, as well as closeup, empathetic portraits that reveal Smith’s self-assurance, her defiance of cultural norms, and her effortless poise. This poignant visual narrative is punctuated throughout by Smith’s original poetry and song lyrics. This book is both a glimpse into a fabled time in music history, documenting a young artist creating what turned out to be a revolutionary work, as well as a celebration of an enduring partnership between two close friends who continue to be creative collaborators to this day.
In this memoir, singer-songwriter Patti Smith shares tales of New York City : the denizens of Max's Kansas City, the Hotel Chelsea, Scribner's, Brentano's and Strand bookstores and her new life in Brooklyn with a young man named Robert Mapplethorpe--the man who changed her life with his love, friendship, and genius.
From her legendary album Horses to her most recent releases, Gung Ho and Land 1975 - 2002, this book charts the lyrical journey of a poet and musician whose words have influenced a generation.

Complete also includes artwork and mementoes from the author's archive and personal reflections drawn from her extensive journals, a record of the time when Rock and Roll made an indelible mark on the world.
M Train börjar och slutar på ett café i New York som har blivit som ett andra hem för Patti Smith. Vid sitt stammisbord i hörnet dricker hon sitt kaffe, gör små anteckningar på servetter, läser böcker och reflekterar över minnen och drömmar, om det som gått förlorat. Med en mild melankoli söker hon tröst i poesin och reser över världen i de stora författarnas fotspår. Hon bjuder också på unika scener från sitt tidigare liv i Detroit med maken Fred Sonic Smith, små stunder av ren lycka och villkorslös kärlek. Det här är en bok för alla som älskar att tillbringa en eftermiddag på ett café, djupt försjunken i bok. M Train är en personlig och poetisk berättelse om livet, konsten och kärleken.
