Tilly Lloyd from Unity Books reviews Year of the Monkey by Patti Smith, which is published by Bloomsbury.

Following a run of New Year's concerts, Patti Smith finds herself tramping the coast of Santa Cruz, about to embark on a year of solitary wandering. Taking us across states and to remembered and imagined places, this haunting memoir blends fact and fiction with poetic mastery.
