内容简介
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.

"The most beautiful, incredible autobiography – it will make you ache for a time and a place that you probably never knew, New York in the 1970s."
-- Nick Hornby
"A sharp, elegiac and finely crafted tribute to their childlike, pre-fame romance, set against the thrilling back drop of New York’s countercultural blast."
-- Sunday Times
"Terrifically evocative … The most spellbinding and diverting portrait of funky-but-chic New York in the late '60s and '70s that any alumnus has committed to print."
-- New York Times
"A tender, harrowing, often hilarious portrait of young lovers forging their paths in an eccentric milieu of Beat poets, Warhol socialites, and transvestites, rock stars and artists ... Much has been written about that time, but Just Kids offers new insight'."
-- Vogue

脸色倏地一白,双手左右拉开,倏地起了一阵劲风,地上枯叶随着他的这个姿态,秋风扫落叶般地向后簌簌滚开。“年轻人,你的眼力不差,今天你报出了老朽的姓名,只怕你也难逃眼前这片方寸之地了!”“剑花先生”昭一子在说着这番话时,脸上显然布满了一片杀招。“哼哼,这么说,我可真是好心没好报了。”蓝衣青年一面说着,脚下向后退了一步。姓邵的老人立刻前进了一步。蓝衣青年又退一步。邵老人又踏进一步。蓝衣青年冷哼一声,不再后退,两只脚却分左右跨开,一双眸子瞬也不瞬地向对方逼视着。“说吧!”老人瞬也不瞬地逼视对方:“你

顺手拿起一条烤香鱼放入了嘴里。晴明没有回答他,只是眼眸中闪过了一丝他所熟悉的狐狸般的笑容。“师兄,没想到你也有这么一天。不过,也只有木梨这样的女子能让师兄收心养性了。”保宪微微一愣,想起了自己备受折磨,历经磨难的追求过程,不由感慨的叹了一口气,这一切,也只有晴明看在眼里了。“我贺茂保宪英明一世,居然就这样栽在了这个唐国女子的手里。”他虽是无奈的表情,语气中却透着一丝甜蜜。晴明抬了抬眼眸,浅浅一笑。“说起来,不知唐国女子是不是都这般精灵古怪,木梨倒还真有几分像当初的沙罗呢。”保宪话刚说出口,忽然想到了什么,连忙望了晴明一眼,只见他还是淡淡笑着,神色未变,这才放下心来。已经过去了这么久,晴明他也早该忘怀了吧。自从她离开之后,晴明也依旧和往常一样生活着,再也没有提起过她。就好像,一切都不曾发生过。就好像,她从未在他的生命里出现过。“已经过去这么久了,也不知她在自己的时代生活的怎么样了。”他低声说道,她离开的时候,似乎也正是细雪飘飞的日子。“有时,还真是好奇她的时代啊。”保宪见晴明无动于衷,也就没有顾忌的继续说了下去。晴明凝望着飘雪,只是微微一笑。保宪又和他聊了一会,再次警告他到时一定要到场后,就起身准备离开了。晴明起身相送,衣袖挥舞间,一根细长的发丝落了下来,朝着取暖的火炉飘落,就在这时,让保宪目瞪口呆的事
