Patti Smith | 2014 | Biography
8.3 (4 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"I love Patti Smith and the story of her beginnings in New York City with her then boyfriend, the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. It's a fascinating look at that period of time and at two very creative people who inspired a whole generation of artists. Smith continues to be so relevant, particularly given our political climate."

The millions of fans of Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” trilogy have something to be very happy about this season: the start of a new trilogy, companion to the first, called “The Book of Dust.”

Pullman’s invented universe is a wonder to behold, but so is the meticulously drawn world of New York City in Julia Wertz’s graphic homage, “Tenements, Towers & Trash.”

Some treasures to behold this week:

Books about Russian history and current events round out our list this week, from biographies of Lenin and Stalin to Masha Gessen’s study of post-Soviet life, “The Future Is History.”

"I am very interested in how design and planning shapes cities and am always curious about the roots of transformation. Having spent much of my early career in New York where parts of the city were in disarray, I was captivated by the book, in awe of the community and New Yorker spirit which taught me so much about how a unique corner of Manhattan came to be."
