Patti Smith's memoir, running from her first memory to what concerns her today. Born into a working-class family in the years after the Second World War, she had a childhood of evictions and illness, but also of games and storybooks; she took Rimbaud and Bob Dylan as models for her poems and songs, and in New York she formed a band and made records such as Horses.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
