Overview

In Just Kids, Patti Smith's first book of prose, the legendary American artist offers a never-before-seen glimpse of her remarkable relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in the epochal days of New York City and the Chelsea Hotel in the late sixties and seventies. An honest and moving story of youth and friendship, Smith brings the same unique, lyrical quality to Just Kids as she has to the rest of her formidable body of work--from her influential 1975 album Horses to her visual art and poetry.

  • Are you a poet? "Maybe."

    Mo M. - 3 years 5 months ago

    Just Kids is an easy read and an interesting stroll down memory lane. Patti Smith's accounts of young artists trolling the steamy underbelly of New York City during the heyday of Warhol, CBGBs, Max's Kansas City,and St. Mark's are stylish and interesting -- they lack the superficial gossip and false sentimentality common in many rock and roll memoirs. It's quite a unique period of time in the arts...in a quite unique city...written by a singularly unique artist.
