About Just Kids by Patti Smith
Patti Smith’s Just Kids presents a portrait of the artistic ascent of Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe. The account begins as a love story and ends as an elegy, tracing the lives of two young artists in New York.
The city of the late 1960s and 1970s is part of the book’s frame: Smith offers a salute to a place of sharp contrasts, from its rich and poor to its hustlers and hellions. It may interest readers of memoir, artists’ lives, and New York City in that period.
