Patti Smith Wins 2010 National Book Award

Just Kids
Musician, poet and visual artist Smith chronicles her intense life with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe during the 1960s and ’70s, when both artists came of age in downtown New York. Despite separations, the duo remained friends until Mapplethorpe’s death in 1989. Like the best of Smith’s music and Mapplethorpe’s art, this book is haunting and unforgettable. Beautifully written, JUST KIDS is a gift to everyone who has ever been touched by their art, and to everyone who’s ever been in love.
