This book surprised me. I liked it much more than I expected to. Patti Smith is a wonderful writer and tells us about a fascinating period in her life. This autobiographical novel depicts the development of two artists, her and Robert Mapplethorpe, as they seek fame and expression in New York City in the 1970s. It is a very touching story of friendship and mutual support for artist creativity. The book also covers the craziness of two young people dedicated to their art while trying to make it in a harsh city. Filled with many famous people, the book remains true to itself by remaining the tale of two kids holding to their visions.
