WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation.
Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and performer, and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography. Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to Forty-Second Street, and eventually to the celebrated round table of Max's Kansas City, where the Andy Warhol contingent held court. In 1969, the pair set up camp at the Hotel Chelsea and soon entered a community of the famous and infamous, the influential artists of the day and the colorful fringe. It was a time of heightened awareness, when the worlds of poetry, rock and roll, art, and sexual politics were colliding and exploding. In this milieu, two kids made a pact to take care of each other. Scrappy, romantic, committed to create, and fueled by their mutual dreams and drives, they would prod and provide for one another during the hungry years.
Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late sixties and seventies and to its rich and poor, its hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a prelude to fame.

A prelude to fame, Just Kids recounts the friendship of two young artists - Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe - whose passion fueled their lifelong pursuit of art. In 1967, a chance meeting between two young people led to a romance and a lifelong friendship that would carry each to international success never dreamed of. The backdrop is Brooklyn, Chelsea Hotel, Max's Kansas City, Scribner's Bookstore, Coney Island, Warhol's Factory and the whole city resplendent. Among their friends, literary lights, musicians and artists such as Harry Smith, Bobby Neuwirth, Allen Ginsberg, Sandy Daley, Sam Shepherd, William Burroughs, etc. It was a heightened time politically and culturally; the art and music worlds exploding and colliding. In the midst of all this two kids made a pact to always care for one another. Scrappy, romantic, committed to making art, they prodded and provided each other with faith and confidence during the hungry years - the days of cous-cous and lettuce soup. Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. Beautifully written, this is a profound portrait of two young artists, often hungry, sated only by art and experience. And an unforgettable portrait of New York, her rich and poor, hustlers and hellions, those who made it and those whose memory lingers near.

It was the summer that Coltrane died. The summer Jimi Hendrix set his guitar in flames and China exploded the H-bomb. There were riots in Newark and marches against the war in Vietnam. The world was on the brink of change. It was the summer of love. And the summer of a chance encounter that would change the course of my life. It was the summer I met Robert. Just Kids is the story of two innocents who shared sheltered lives and braved the city in search of art and freedom. In each other Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith found kindred spirits and pursued their mutual dreams, from Brooklyn to the Chelsea Hotel and into the world. Each would eventually reach the pinnacle of artistic achievement and their vow to always care for one another survived painful trials and separations. Mapplethorpe's unforgettable portrait of Smith for the cover of Horses forever fuses their indelible mark on our culture. Intimate and broadly evocative of New York in the early '70s, Just Kids - part romance, part elegy - is finally about friendship in the truest sense, and the artist's calling.

Biography & Autobiography. Nonfiction. Rock musician Patti Smith, no stranger to the microphone, delivers her memoir of life with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe with guarded emotion. After a chance meeting on Smith's first day in New York in 1966, the two remained tightly bonded for the rest of his life. Smith unflinchingly bares their years together, giving equal weight to highs and lows. Despite bouts of homelessness and poverty, the couple was often in the right place to meet some of the greatest artists of their generation, including Andy Warhol, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Sam Shepard. Smith, however, is no name-dropper, never exaggerating her relationships and humbly keeping Mapplethorpe at the center of the story. Listeners are treated to one song, and Smith's tone becomes more authentic and personal in her epilogue. C.B.L. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine. HTML:

National Book Award de ensayo 2010. La hermosa relación de Patti Smith con el gran fotógrafo Robert Mapplethorpe. Un homenaje a la amistad sin trabas. Sus páginas cargadas de  vitalidad y humor nos devuelven el sabor de esa gran ciudad donde casi todo era posible. Corría el mes de julio de 1967 y eran unos niños, pero a partir de  entonces Patti Smith y Robert Mapplethorpe sellaron una amistad que solo  acabaría con la muerte del gran fotógrafo, en 1989. De eso habla este  espléndido libro de memorias, de la vida en común de estos artistas, los  dos entusiastas y apasionados, que cruzaron a grandes pasos la periferia  de Nueva York para llegar hasta el centro neurálgico del nuevo arte. Fue  así que acabaron instalándose en el hotel Chelsea y se convirtieron en  los protagonistas de un mundo hoy ya perdido donde reinaban Allen  Ginsberg, Andy Warhol y sus chicos, y se creaban las grandes bandas de  música que marcaron los años finales del siglo XX, mientras el sida hacía estragos.

Incrociano una coppia di anziani, che si ferma a osservarli esterrefatti. Fagli una foto, dice la donna. Perch©♭? - risponde il marito sono soltanto ragazzini. Just kids. Patti Smith sa guardarsi indietro e lo fa senza risparmiarsi, con la placata esuberanza dell'artista che ha raggiunto le vette del successo e della sua arte e con la passione disincantata di chi attraverso la fama ha imparato a conoscere luci e abissi. La sacerdotessa del rock ripercorre i sentieri che dall'infanzia a Chicago la portano a New York. Qui incontra Robert Mapplethorpe, fotografo estremo che con lei intreccia un cammino di arte, di devozione e di iniziazione. Insieme scoprono che rock, politica e sesso sono gli ingredienti essenziali della rivoluzione a venire. Il vero collante tra Patti e Robert ©· l'amicizia. Un'amicizia rara, pura, preziosa. Un patto esplicito di reciproco sostegno, fondato sulla condivisione di sogni, di visioni, di idee. Di arte. La confessione di una delle pi©£ grandi protagoniste del rock americano, di un'originale poetessa, di una musa, di una donna che ha saputo vivere ai margini delle convenzioni.

»Det var sommaren då Coltrane dog. Sommaren då Jimi Hendrix satte eld på sin gitarr och Kina sprängde en vätebomb. Det var uppror i Newark och protestmarscher mot Vietnamkriget. Världen stod på tröskeln till en ny tid. Det var kärlekens sommar. Det var sommaren som förändrade mitt liv. Det var sommaren då jag mötte Robert.« Den heta sommaren 1967 lämnar Patti Smith hemstaden i New Jersey. Hon hoppar av sin lärarutbildning och tar sig till äventyret i New York. Hon är tjugo år gammal och har tröttnat på hemstadens inskränkthet. Hon vill få nya intryck och utvecklas. Och framför allt vill hon skapa. I New York träffar hon sin själsfrände Robert Mapplethorp. De två blir ett par och lever tillsammans i många år. Tillsammans med Robert kommer Patti rakt in i en miljö och atmosfär som sjuder av kreativitet och liv. Båda får de inspiration att utvecklas, och båda kommer de med tiden att nå stor berömmelse och revolutionera sina konstarter; han som fotograf och hon som musiker och poet. Just Kids är en levande skildring av New Yorks avantgardistiska och spännande kulturliv i början av 70-talet. Här får vi möta författare, musiker och konstnärer, och många av dem har påverkat en hel generation och givit avtryck långt utanför New Yorks gränser. Här fanns Sam Shepard, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan, William Burroughs, Tom Verlaine och många fler. Just Kids är inte bara ett unikt tidsdokument utan också en varm och innerlig kärleksförklaring till en älskad vän. Polarprismotivering: »Polar Music Prize 2011 tilldelas den amerikanska poeten och musikern Patti Smith. Genom att viga sitt liv åt konst i alla dess former har Patti Smith visat hur mycket rock'n'roll det finns i poesi och hur mycket poesi det finns i rock'n'roll. Patti Smith är en Rimbaud med Marshall-förstärkare. Hon har förändrat hur en generation ser ut, tänker och drömmer. Den unika konstnärssjälen Patti Smith visar att people have the power.«

Det var sommaren då Coltrane dog, kärlekens och kravallernas sommar, då ett slumpartat möte i Brooklyn förde in två unga människor på en väg som skulle leda till något stort.   Patti Smith skulle komma att utvecklas som poet och artist och Robert Mapplethorpe skulle med sin mycket provocerande stil komma att inrikta sig på fotografi. Förenande i oskuld och entusiasm genomkorsade de storstaden tillsammans, från Coney Island till Forty-second Street, och så småningom hamnade de vid det ryktbara runda bordet på Max´s Kansas City där gruppen kring Andy Warhol höll hov. 1969 installerade de sig på Hotel Chelsea och blev snart en del av ett brödraskap med både kända och okända den tidens inflytelserika artister och den färgstarka skara som omgav dem. Det var en period då poesins, rockens, konstens och sexualpolitikens världar kolliderade och exploderade. Och det var i denna miljö som svor på att de alltid skulle finnas där för varandra. Hängivna sin konst och uppfyllda av ömsesidiga drömmar och drivkrafter skulle de sporra och ta hand om varandra under de magra åren. Just Kids börjar som en kärlekshistoria och slutar som en sorgesång. Berättelsen är en hyllning till staden New York under slutet av sextiotalet och under sjuttiotalet, den är en hyllning till dess rika och fattiga, dess skurkar och bråkmakare. Som en sann saga är den en bild av två unga konstnärers väg till berömmelse. [Elib]
