Patti Smith is a such a talented song writer, I had no doubt this book would be a must read. She does not disappoint in a fabulous tale of her relationship with the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Their relationship is that which I believe we all wish we had- complicated and inter-woven without actually being complicated at all. In love, but never jealous or jaded, their relationship should act as an example for all those who are prone to jealousy and rage. The support they give one another artistically and otherwise is fantastic. Loved reading her account of 'sort-of' fame in the 60s/70s.
