Review:
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.
'With a memoirist's sleight of hand, Patti Smith recaptures
two wondrously malleable young spirits...' -- Scotland on Sunday, January 2010
'Before Maplethorpe died ... Smith promised him that she would write their story. Just Kids is the fulfilment of that promise: a touching tribute to their love as well as an incisive account of being young, ambitious and artistic in Seventies New York ... She pours that sorrow and that maturity into this heartfelt, illuminating book.' -- Telegraph, February 2010
`The most beautiful, incredible autobiography - it will make you ache for a time and a place that you probably never knew, New York in the 1970s' --Nick Hornby
