Summary:
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.
Singer-songwriter Smith shares tales of New York City and her new life in Brooklyn with a young man named Robert Mapplethorpe-- the man who changed her life with his love, friendship, and genius. It begins as a love story, ends as an elegy, and serves as a salute to New York City during the late sixties and seventies. This "illustrated edition" includes many illustrations not in the 2010 edition, including some color illustrations. -- adapted from information on 2010 edition
