Summary

Patti Smith: Only Children

The Autobiography of a Rock Poet

Denis Leskovar translated a book in which we follow the unknown Patricia Lee Smith on her way from anonymity to star status and her coexistence with the musical and literary authorities of the time - and we are talking about the '60s and '70s - at the Chelsea Hotel: William Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Allen Ginsberg, Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Country Joe and the Fish, Jimi Hendrix, Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan, Sam Shepard are just some of the important names she met, but the most important name is the result of a completely accidental meeting.

At the time when she was fighting for bare survival, she met her 'spiritual brother', the 'artist of her life' - Robert Mapplethorpe.

Written with great attention to detail and the passion typical of her best albums, yet poetically inspired and witty, this is not only a vivid memoir about two kids who grow up together, form common worldviews and become artists who will mark the culture of the second half of the last century.

The book "Only Children" is an emotional dedication to the unconditional, primarily spiritual love of two artists. In addition to her best friend, Patti Smith writes a love letter with this book to her role models Rimbaud, Genet, Blake, Baudelaire, but also to New York in those years, a city whose neighborhoods, streets and clubs (especially CBGB and Max's) forever owed rock history.

The story comes to a close when Patti becomes a famous and globally recognized poet and musician, and Robert a visual artist who will first stun, then fascinate America and world.

Patti Smith worked on the book for several years, and in 2010 she won the prestigious American National Literary Award in the nonfiction category.
