One of my favourite books of all time from one of my favourite artists of all time. Patti Smith speaks about the 60s in New York and her life as a muse and an artist and her deep friendship with Robert Mapplethorpe in this spellbinding tale. They experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows and right before Robert Mapplethorpe died, he made Patti Smith promise to write up their story - and here we go. This sits with me deeply!

Patti's Smith's exquisite prose is generously illustrated in this full-color edition of her classic coming-of-age memoir, Just Kids. New York locations vividly come to life where, as young artists, Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe met and fell in love: a first apartment in Brooklyn, Times Square with John and Yoko's iconic billboard, Max's Kansas City, or the gritty fire escape of the Hotel Chelsea. The extraordinary people who passed through their lives are also pictured: Sam Shepard, Harry Smith, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg. Along with never-before-published photographs, drawings, and ephemera, this edition captures a moment in New York when everything was possible. And when two kids seized their destinies as artists and soul mates in this inspired story of love and friendship.
