內容簡介
A prelude to fame, Just Kids recounts the friendship of two young artists--Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe – whose passion fueled their lifelong pursuit of art.
In 1967, a chance meeting between two young people led to a romance and a lifelong friendship that would carry each to international success never dreamed of. The backdrop is Brooklyn, Chelsea Hotel, Max’s Kansas City, Scribner’s Bookstore, Coney Island, Warhol’s Factory and the whole city resplendent. Among their friends, literary lights, musicians and artists such as Harry Smith, Bobby Neuwirth, Allen Ginsberg, Sandy Daley, Sam Shepherd, William Burroughs, etc. It was a heightened time politically and culturally; the art and music worlds exploding and colliding. In the midst of all this two kids made a pact to always care for one another. Scrappy, romantic, committed to making art, they prodded and provided each other with faith and confidence during the hungry years--the days of cous-cous and lettuce soup.
Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. Beautifully written, this is a profound portrait of two young artists, often hungry, sated only by art and experience. And an unforgettable portrait of New York, her rich and poor, hustlers and hellions, those who made it and those whose memory lingers near.

精彩書評
"The most beautiful, incredible autobiography – it will make you ache for a time and a place that you probably never knew, New York in the 1970s."
-- Nick Hornby
"A sharp, elegiac and finely crafted tribute to their childlike, pre-fame romance, set against the thrilling back drop of New York’s countercultural blast."
-- Sunday Times
"Terrifically evocative … The most spellbinding and diverting portrait of funky-but-chic New York in the late '60s and '70s that any alumnus has committed to print."
-- New York Times
"A tender, harrowing, often hilarious portrait of young lovers forging their paths in an eccentric milieu of Beat poets, Warhol socialites, and transvestites, rock stars and artists ... Much has been written about that time, but Just Kids offers new insight'."
-- Vogue

餘幼時即嗜學。傢貧,無緻書以觀,每假藉於藏書之傢,手自筆錄,計日以還。天大寒,觀冰堅,手指不可屈伸,弗之怠。錄畢,走送瞭,不敢銷逾約。以是人多以書假餘,餘因得遍觀群書。既加冠,益慕聖賢之道。又患無碩師名人與遊,嘗趨百裏外從鄉之先達執經叩問。先達德隆望尊,門人弟子填其室,未嘗稍降辭色。餘立侍左右,援疑質理,俯身傾耳以請;或遇其叱咄,色愈恭,禮愈至,不敢齣一言以復;俟其欣悅,則又請焉。故餘雖愚,卒獲有所聞。

真是人如其名,陳虻像小說裏的《牛虻》裏主人公一樣,飽經憂患,意誌堅決,機智勇敢,敢於冒天下之大韙,鼓勵人追尋事實,道齣事實。這位被柴靜看成教練的人,從來沒有什麼錶揚,總是批評,總讓人無比沮喪,因為他的批評,不光對,而且準。唯一一次,這位教練曾對柴靜身邊好友說,柴靜有一點好,就是不人雲亦雲。不知柴自己心裏怎麼想,在外人看來,這是極高的褒揚瞭。

留在湖南,原本也是條坦途,二十齣頭,外人看來,該有的,都有瞭。可是她卻毅然離開,到北京進修,之後被陳虻意外挑中,進瞭央視,成為新聞評論部活躍十年的見證人。她可以單純做個演播室裏的主持人,那樣其實也沒有人會責難她,每天化妝、上颱、對話、下班,日子自在餘裕,可她不甘。那時,陳虻也還在。
