Description
“[Just Kids] reminds us that innocence, utopian ideals, beauty and revolt are
enlightenmentâ€s guiding stars in the human journey. Her book recalls, without blinking or
faltering, a collective memory ― one that guides us through the present and into the future.―
(Michael Stipe, Time magazine)“Reading rocker Smithâ€s account of her relationship with
photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, itâ€s hard not to believe in fate. How else to explain the
chance encounter that threw them together, allowing both to blossom? Quirky and spellbinding.―
(People, Top 10 Books of 2010)“The most enchantingly evocative memoir of funky-but-chic
New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s that any alumnus has yet committed to print.― (Janet
Maslin's top 10 books of 2010, New York Times)“Composed of incandescent sentences more
revelatory than anything from Patti Smithâ€s poems or songs, her romantic memoir also reveals
what blunt narrative instruments the earlier career bios of her and photographer Robert
Mapplethorpe have been.― (Village Voice, Best Books of 2010 Round-Up)“Smithâ€s
beautifully crafted love letter to her friend Robert Mapplethorpe functions as a memento mori of a
relationship fueled by passion for art and writing. Her elegant eulogy lays bare the chaos and the
creativity so embedded in that earlier time and in Mapplethorpeâ€s life and work.― (Publishers
Weekly, Top Ten Books of the Year)“Poetically written and vividly remembered. [Smith]
reminded me of the idealism of art.― (Matthew Weiner, creator of MAD MEN, in New York
magazine)“A spellbinding portrait of bohemian New York in the late 1960s and early ‘70s.―
(New York Times Book Review, Paperback Row)“One of the best things Iâ€ve ever read in
my life.― (Don Imus)“Sometimes there is justice in the world. That was my first thought when I
heard that Patti Smith had won the National Book Award this fall for her glorious memoir, Just
Kids.― (Maureen Corrigan's favorite books of 2010, NPR's Fresh Air)“[JUST KIDS] offers a
revealing account of the fears and insecurities harbored by even the most incendiary artists, as
well as their capacity for reverence and tenderness.― (USA Today) It was the summer Coltrane
died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two
young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation.Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and
performer, and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography.
Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to Forty-second
Street, and eventually to the celebrated round table of Max's Kansas City, where the Andy Warhol
contingent held court. In 1969, the pair set up camp at the Hotel Chelsea and soon entered a
community of the famous and infamous—the influential artists of the day and the colorful fringe. It
was a time of heightened awareness, when the worlds of poetry, rock and roll, art, and sexual

politics were colliding and exploding. In this
