Patti Smith, the rock poet and National Book Award winner for 2010’s “Just Kids,” will release a follow-up memoir¹, titled “M Train,” on Oct. 6, the publisher Knopf announced on Monday.

摇滚诗人帕蒂·史密斯(Patti Smith)曾凭借《只是孩子》(Just Kids)获得2010年美国国家图书奖(National Book Award)。周一，诺夫出版公司(Knopf)宣布将于10月6日出版她的后续回忆录，名为《M列车》(M Train)。

While “Just Kids” centered on Ms. Smith’s formative years in New York City and her almost cosmic relationship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe, “M Train” is “a coffee-saturated odyssey² into the mind of a legendary³ artist, told through the prism of the cafes and haunts she has worked in around the world,” Knopf said in a statement.

只是孩子》主要讲述史密斯在纽约市的成长以及她与艺术家罗伯特·梅普尔索普(Robert Mapplethorpe)的复杂关系。诺夫出版公司在声明中说，《M列车》则是“弥漫着咖啡香味的漫长历险之旅，通过她在世界各地工作过的咖啡馆和常去之地，讲述这位传奇艺术家漫长的心路历程”。

Ms. Smith called the new book “a roadmap to my life.” Her publisher said the memoir will take readers through 18 “stations” that proved influential⁴ in Ms. Smith’s work and personal development, “from Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul in Mexico, to a meeting of an Arctic explorer’s society in Berlin; from the ramshackle seaside bungalow⁵ in New York’s Far Rockaway that Smith buys just before Hurricane Sandy hits, to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud and Mishima.”

史密斯称这本新书是“我的人生路标”。出版公司说，这本回忆录将带领读者走过18座“车站”，这些“车站”对史密斯的事业和个人发展具有重要意义，“从墨西哥弗里达·卡洛(Frida Kahlo)的蓝房子(Casa Azul)，到北极探险家协会在柏林的一次会议；从飓风桑迪袭击前，史密斯在纽约法罗卡韦买下的摇摇欲坠的海边小屋，再到热内(Genet)、普拉斯(Plath)、兰波(Rimbaud)和三岛由纪夫的墓地”。

“M Train” will also cover Ms. Smith’s marriage to the MC5 guitarist Fred Smith, who died in 1994 at the age of 44. Teasing the sequel in 2012, Ms. Smith told Billboard⁶ that the book is “in more of the ‘Just Kids’ vein⁷ and even in the similar time period, but shifts more to family, Fred, music.”

M列车》也将讲述史密斯与MC5乐队吉他手弗雷德·史密斯(Fred Smith)的婚姻。1994年，44岁的弗雷德去世。2012年，史密斯在接受《公告牌》(Billboard)采访时开玩笑地谈起这部续集，说它“主要渗透在《只是孩子》的血脉里，它们讲述的几乎是同一时期的事，不过《M列车》更多是关于家庭、弗雷德和音乐”。

“I don’t have a big rock ’n’ roll lifestyle, a sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll story to tell,” she added. “I think I have maybe a better story.”

“我讲述的不是摇滚生活方式，不是性、毒品和摇滚故事，”她补充说，“我觉得我讲的故事也许更好。”
