Read by the author

Patti Smith needs no introduction. She made an indelible mark on American culture twenty-five years ago with her enduring classic album, Horses. With Just Kids, Smith has created another classic, this time, in the tradition of other unforgettable coming-of-age stories such as This Boy's Life, Stop-Time, and On the Road.

Just Kids is the story of Patti Smith's extraordinary relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe. It is about two innocents who, in a chance meeting in 1967, become lovers and then friends, and fulfill their mutual dream of becoming great artists. While Just Kids will be a story that fans of both Mapplethorpe and Smith will treasure, Smith's story is a classic, American journey--the story of those who come to the city in search of art and passion. Part romance, part elegy, Just Kids is about friendship in the truest sense, and the artist's calling.

Patti Smith is a writer, artist and performer. Her seminal album Horses was followed by nine releases including Radio Ethiopia, Easter, Dream of Life, Gone Again and Trampin'. Her art work was first exhibited at Gotham Book Mart in 1973, and she has been associated with the Robert Miller Gallery since 1978. Strange Messenger, a retrospective of three hundred works, made its debut at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and has been exhibited world-wide, most notably at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, Haus der Kunst, Munich and the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam. Her books include Witt, Babel, Woolgathering, The Coral Sea, and Patti Smith Complete 1975 - 2006. On July 10, 2005, she received the Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, the highest grade awarded by the French Republic to eminent artists and writers who have contributed significantly to furthering the arts throughout the world.

Smith resides in New York City and is the mother of two.
