Patti's Smith's exquisite prose is generously illustrated in this full-color edition of her classic coming-of-age memoir, Just Kids. New York locations vividly come to life where, as young artists, Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe met and fell in love: a first apartment in Brooklyn, Times Square with John and Yoko's iconic billboard, Max's Kansas City, or the gritty fire escape of the Hotel Chelsea. The extraordinary people who passed through their lives are also pictured: Sam Shepard, Harry Smith, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg. Along with never-before-published photographs, drawings, and ephemera, this edition captures a moment in New York when everything was possible. And when two kids seized their destinies as artists and soul mates in this inspired story of love and friendship.

    Замечательная история!
    Особенно понравилась фраза в начале история "I was not gifted but imaginative".

Quotes

  • Iryna Sotohas quoted10 years ago
    I no longer felt that I was the right model for him, but he would wave my objections away. He saw in me more than I could see in myself. Whenever he peeled the image from the Polaroid negative, he would say, “With you I can’t miss.”
  • Táliahas quoted4 years ago
    I longed to enter the fraternity of the artist: the hunger, their manner of dress, their process and prayers.
  • Marina Adyrkhaevahas quoted7 years ago
    A universe not yet scored contained beneath the pale lids.
