Mapplethorpe, but discovered something of myself in the process. Through this review I will try to put all of these emotions into words and give this book the justice it deserves.
Just Kids reflects on the profound relationship between the aforementioned artists: Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe. While their friendship is a key focus of the memoir, Patti Smith discovers her own path to art, which will take many forms over the course of her lifetime. It is a privilege to be accepted into her world- for however so briefly- and meander through the memories of a legend.
The beauty of art displayed within the book-romanticized by myself as a wannabe writer- is what almost instantly drew to the story. However, it is Smith’s ability to articulate the complexities of love and human kind which makes Just Kids a new favorite.

If you are sensitive to descriptions of tripping on acid I would avoid this memoir or research what pages they appear on so you can skip over it.
