Just Kids: A National Book Award Winner
by Patti Smith
Patti Smith's Just Kids is the rare artist's memoir that earns its tenderness, tracing her young, broke years in New York alongside Robert Mapplethorpe before either of them was anyone. It's a coming-of-age story about choosing to make art when nothing guarantees it will matter.
