Just Kids documents the relationship between singer-songwriter Patti Smith and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, who together played a major role in shaping the underground art and punk rock movements in New York City in the 1960s and 1970s. In addition to being her roommate and lover, Mapplethorpe photographed Smith in the iconic images that later became the covers to her music albums. This memoir chronicles Smith and Mapplethorpe's childhoods, first encounters in New York, romantic relationship, tenure at the Chelsea Hotel, and, naturally, their artistic endeavors that stemmed from their mutual inspiration. According to Janet Maslin's New York Times review, the title "Just Kids" refers to a moment in Washington Square Park in 1967 when a couple saw Smith and Mapplethorpe. While the woman thought that they "looked like artists," her husband brushed the comment off, saying that they were "just kids.". Signed by Author. Compact Discs. Near Fine.
