Finished this book on Friday. SO good. Patti Smith’s writing can do no wrong in my opinion, and I do hope she writes another book to follow-up this one. I’d love to know more about her music career, marriage, etc. Living in New York and reading about Patti and Robert’s intense romance/friendship was really powerful for me, but whether you live here or not, I think you’ll enjoy it.
“Yet you could feel a vibration in the air, a sense of hastening. It had started with the moon, inaccessible poem that it was. Now men had walked upon it, rubber treads on a pearl of the gods. Perhaps it was an awareness of time passing, the last summer of the decade. Sometimes I just wanted to raise my hands and stop. But stop what? Maybe just growing up.”- Just Kids
