Joe Strummer + Allen Ginsberg = Arthur Rimbaud (and methadone kitties!)“A poet of distinction.”
— The New York Times on Patti Smith
“ An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter’s mere 87 pages are so multi-faceted and transporting and I get so absorbed that upon finishing I don’t remember anything. Like having a complex cinematic dream that dissipates upon awakening.”
— Patti Smith, The New York Times Book Review on César Aira's An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter
