Importance of Patti Smith’s Apartment

Patti Smith lived in a two-story apartment in Greenwich Village, Lower Manhattan while writing this book. As described in her memoirs, there was a skylight above her bed from which she watched the skies, weather, stars, and moon. She lived with her cats, one of them an Abyssinian. Her apartment was filled with objects of sentimental importance to her and seemed to be in a state of mixed order and disorder.
