Description

It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when two young people's lives intersected in Brooklyn. Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe formed an unbreakable bond that would propel them towards art, devotion, and self-discovery.

In the midst of this vibrant city, they traversed from Coney Island to Forty-second Street, eventually finding themselves at the heart of Max's Kansas City, where the Andy Warhol contingent held court. The Hotel Chelsea became their home, a community of famous and infamous artists, hustlers, and hellions that fueled their creativity.

This memoir is a love story, an elegy, and a testament to New York City during its most tumultuous years. It's a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a tale of friendship, passion, and the pursuit of artistic expression.
