Identifier: CC-52199-73320

Scope and Contents Anthony Gurgess provided the introduction to this book.Library Journal Review (Michael Rogers): "James Joyce is remarkably alluring, and it's not just the writing. There's something about the figure of old Kinch himself with his walking stick and thick spectacles that's compelling. This heavily illustrated extravaganza (90 photographs in all) celebrates the great artist in all his incarnations from Dublin boyhood to elder years. Except for the mustache, he looks the same throughout-his is a face scratched in stone from birth. The late Anthony Burgess's introduction provides a brief biography on Joyce, and the volume is capped off with a chronology of his life. The main course of this sumptuous feast, however, is the portfolio of photos and drawings, many familiar (by Man Ray and Berenice Abbott, for instance) but many published here for the first time.

The book is the autobiography of Smith's young years and her deep relationship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe. Patti Smith is a writer, performer, visual artist, poet and rock star who has currently returned to the music scene.Bartholomew Amazon.com review: Before she became the Godmother of Punk, Patti Smith was just some girl who came to New York in search of herself. We have a tendency to view her as always having been a rebel, guitar in hand, spouting her distinctive mix of poetry and invective at society. But the reality was that Smith came to New York as a refugee, uncertain of who she was and what she wanted to be. That's sometimes a bit hard to believe or realize, but in "Just Kids" Smith reveals just that: she wasn't one half as confident then as she is now, and that she had no idea what she was going to do once she arrived in...
