Patti Smith was on The Leonard Lopate Show on WNYC on Tuesday January 19th. She was there to talk about the book she’s written about the early days of her friendship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, who died of AIDS in 1989.
The book is called Just Kids: From Brooklyn to the Chelsea Hotel, a Life of Art and Friendship, and covers Patti’s life with Mapplethorpe in the 1960s and 1970s in New York City. The 25 minute interview on Leonard Lopate’s show was fascinating and left me wanting more (which means it was good press for the book). This was a time in NYC that has always fascinated me. Patti was great to listen to.
