Patti Smith's favourite novel, a cult rebel classic
Albertine Sarrazin (1937-67) was a French-Algerian writer. At an
early age she abandoned her studies and turned to a life of crime
and prostitution. She wrote her first two novels in prison and died
at twenty-nine.
Patsy Southgate (1928-98) was an integral figure of both the 1950s
Parisian literary scene and the New York School.
Patti Smith is a poet, performer, visual artist, and author of the
National Book Award-winning memoir Just Kids. She has twelve
albums, has had numerous gallery shows, and continues to give
concerts of her music and poetry.
Astragal is amazing ... Anne is a wonderful anti-hero - a rare role
for a woman - and her journey is thoughtfully and poetically
expressed. She is the best of the bad girls: spend time with
her.

Astragal is a spirited journey through the dark underbelly of Paris
in the 1960s that leaps from the page like a Jean-Luc Godard
movie.
