Just Kids is a memoir by Patti Smith, published on January 19, 2010, documenting her relationship with artist Robert Mapplethorpe.
"I didn't write it to be cathartic," she noted. "I wrote it because Robert asked me to… Our relationship was such that I knew what he would want and the quality of what he deserved. So that was my agenda for writing that book. I wrote it to fulfill my vow to him, which was on his deathbed. In finishing, I did feel that I'd fulfilled my promise."
Critical reception
On Book Marks, the book received a "rave" consensus, based on twelve critic reviews: nine "rave", two "positive", and one "mixed". The book received an 83% from The Lit Review based on twenty-three critic reviews and the consensus of the reviews being, "A memoir-slash-love letter to Robert Mapplethorpe, Smith has created lyrical and intimate prose. One of Oprah’s Books to Watch (February 2010)". The BookScore assessed it at an aggregated critic score of 8.8/10 based on an accumulation of British and American press reviews.
Just Kids won the 2010 National Book Award for Nonfiction.
It was Publishers Weekly's Top 10 Best Books (2010), ALA Notable Book (2011), Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist (Current Interest, 2010), New York Times bestseller (Nonfiction, 2010), and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist (Autobiography/Memoir, 2010).
Just Kids was featured on the January 19, 2010, episode of Fresh Air, with Smith being interviewed by Terry Gross. Just Kids was also featured on KQED's Forum with Michael Krasny on January 28, 2010, and KCRW's Bookworm with host Michael Silverblatt in March 2010. It was the Book of the Week on BBC Radio 4 from 1–5 March 2010, with Smith reading five 15-minute excerpts from her book.
Television series
In August 2015, it was announced that Showtime was developing a limited series based on the memoir. The network landed the rights partly because Smith wanted to collaborate with writer John Logan, being a fan of his series Penny Dreadful. However, the show has not yet been put in the works.
