…opening discussion of patti smith's memoir about her early years in new york
“So back in 2010, I picked up this book that everyone seemed to be reading that year. Just Kids by Patti Smith. I vaguely know who Patti Smith was, a musician and artist, sometimes called the godmother of punk. But I didn't really know her. So I picked up the book without any real expectations, and man, did I love that book. One of the few I've read many times since. Just Kids is this memoir of Smith's early years in New York and her relationship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe.”
