I was moved by how honest this is book is in its depiction of two young artists. Even with the love she has for Mapplethorpe and his memory, Patti Smith is willing to show them both at their best and worst.

Could all friends be like Patti and Robert, and all love stories as beautiful, deep and meaningful.
In this vivid and detailed account of their times together we are completely transported to the NY of the late 60’s and 70’s, to the arts and all its people, the muses and creators, the lovers, the dead, and the living. 
The poetry of a time, of a love that went beyond death and now is elevated by Patti’s words.
Deeply moving.

Patti Smith remembers her life as an artist in New York in the late 60s and early 70s, and her life with Robert Mapplethorpe as they rose to fame.
