we really love a novel, we can't just let it go at "the end."

Why
We Love It:
One of our favorite rock stars turned out to also be a brilliant memoirist.
This chronicle of her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe captures not only
the youth of two boundary-breaking artists but also the soul of an era.
The
Sequel: While
Smith's subsequent memoir,
M Train, is a brilliant
rumination on life, loss and art, we'd love to return with her to the vanished
world of New York in the late 1960s. With Smith, we know that no two journeys
could ever be alike.
