Winner of the 2010 Non-Fiction National Book Award    Patti Smith's definitive memoir is 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.
