A review by book_isk
Just Kids by Patti Smith

challenging emotional hopeful mysterious reflective slow-paced

4.0

a tender portrayal of friendship at the fringes of society, yet the center of the heart. smith's writing is melancholic, yet refuses to be read as a dirge. she writes friends, idols, and acquaintances into life with equal esteem and fervour. she is an incisive witness and renders her life a poignant bildungsroman of artists, friends, lovers, and changemakers.
