The memoir particularly recounts the personal losses that marked the forty-year span between Horses and M Train, including the deaths of Mapplethorpe in 1989, of AIDS Smith's husband, guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith, in 1994 at 45, of heart failure and Smith's brother Todd a month later, of a stroke. While Just Kids recounts Smith's early life, the beginning of her career and particularly her relationship with artist Robert Mapplethorpe, M Train focuses on a later portion of her life, the period since the release of her debut album Horses in 1975. M Train is Smith's second memoir, following the 2010 National Book Award-winning Just Kids. Smith published M Train in 2015 with Alfred A. Smith's audiobook recording of M Train earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Spoken Word Album. M Train is a 2015 memoir written by Patti Smith.
