Could all friends be like Patti and Robert, and all love stories as beautiful, deep and meaningful.
In this vivid and detailed account of their times together we are completely transported to the NY of the late 60’s and 70’s, to the arts and all its people, the muses and creators, the lovers, the dead, and the living.
The poetry of a time, of a love that went beyond death and now is elevated by Patti’s words.
Deeply moving.

this book was ok to me. personally i felt no connection to this book - a lot of the name dropping and references to the 60s-70s didnt rlly affect me since i know practically nothing about life during this time. i thought the writing style was kind of difficult to read. i definitely should’ve chosen a different book (perhaps a more easy read) to start getting back into reading. however i was very engrossed in the relationships built and discussed in the book, i thought the author did a good job at that

Patti Smith remembers her life as an artist in New York in the late 60s and early 70s, and her life with Robert Mapplethorpe as they rose to fame.
