I recently finished Patti Smith's latest book Just Kids and all I can say is wow. This is a must read for anyone with aspirations in a creative field or even just an appreciation for art in any form. You don't have to know who Patti Smith or Robert Mapplethorpe is to enjoy this beautiful story of love, friendship, and creativity in 1970's New York.
In many ways it's comforting to read of an artists self doubt and perseverance to keep creating in spite of it. I won't try to describe the book any further, I could never do justice to Smith's poetic words. Read it, I honestly cannot recommend it enough.
