This memoir of Patti Smith's relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe recalls the 1960's and 70's in New York City. She pursues a career in poetry, art, and finally music, while Mapplethorpe, a student at Pratt when she met him, works on his art, eventually focusing on photography. Their lives intersected with some of the most interesting people of the 1970's, including Jimi Hendrix, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, and Janis Joplin. There's even a Bob Dylan slighting.
My rating: **** (out of 5)
