About this product

Product Information

Winner of the 2010 Non-Fiction National Book Award Patti Smith's definitive memoir: an evocative, honest and moving coming-of-age story of her extraordinary relationship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe 'Sharp, elegiac and finely crafted' Sunday Times 'Terrifically evocative ... The most spellbinding and diverting portrait of funky-but-chic New York in the late '60s and '70s that any alumnus has committed to print' New York Times 'Render, harrowing, often hilarious' Vogue In 1967, a chance meeting between two young people led to a romance and a lifelong friendship that would carry each to international success never dreamed of. The backdrop is Brooklyn, Chelsea Hotel, Max's Kansas City, Scribner's Bookstore, Coney Island, Warhol's Factory and the whole city resplendent. Among their friends, literary lights, musicians and artists such as Harry Smith, Bobby Neuwirth, Allen Ginsberg, Sandy Daley, Sam Shepherd, William Burroughs, etc. It was a heightened time politically and culturally; the art and music worlds exploding and colliding. In the midst of all this two kids made a pact to always care for one another. Scrappy, romantic, committed to making art, they prodded and provided each other with faith and confidence during the hungry years--the days of cous-cous and lettuce soup. Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. Beautifully written, this is a profound portrait of two young artists, often hungry, sated only by art and experience. And an unforgettable portrait of New York, her rich and poor, hustlers and hellions, those who made it and those whose memory lingers near.

      Just Kids...A magical read

      I've had this on kindle for years now and bought the paperback to reread on holiday again.This book gives a thrilling insight into New York life from the late sixties, so many cult figures appear and gives great detail through Patti's experiences staying at The Chelsea hotel.A must read for music fans .I keep rereading this book for its electric imagery and personal candidness.Patti is a wonderful storyteller.I especially enjoy her openness about her relationship with Robert Maplethorpe and her love for him,music and literature.This book is a gem and well deserved Award winner.You will be transported to a creative world amongst artists and icons enjoy the journey.

    • Fascinating to discover how Smith and Mapplethorpe both courted celebrity, getting introductions to influential people.

      Not quite as innocent and naive as the title suggests, I feel I know & understand Smith better now.
