Just Kids by Patti Smith
5.0
challenging emotional fast-paced

I saw Patti Smith in Brooklyn right after Christmas 2023 and was blown away at her stage presence and how great her voice still is, so I was hoping Just Kids would be as wonderful. It did not disappoint. I understand why it won a National Book Award. Anyone interested in late 60s-early 70s rockers and the New York art scene during that same time period should read it.
