Just Kids by Patti Smith

 A Memoir of Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe from their chance meeting in Brooklyn in the late sixties until his untimely death of AIDS at the age of 41.   " Just Kids begins as a love story and ends  as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late sixties and seventies and to its rich and poor, it's hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artist's ascent, a prelude to fame. "  * 2010
