A love letter written in shadows. Just Kids is Patti Smith’s raw and luminous memoir of becoming an intimate document of her bond with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, born not from fame, but from hunger, trust, and the chaos of creation.

Set against the backdrop of a crumbling, electric New York, where the Chelsea Hotel was still an altar and Max’s Kansas City hosted the devout, the book drifts through dim hallways, subway heat, and shared cigarettes. Two kids with empty pockets and holy ambitions, carving out their place in a city on the verge of art, sex, and collapse.

This isn’t a celebrity memoir. It’s a hymn to the underground, a chronicle of tenderness, survival, and the sacred pact to protect one another before the world knew their names. A document of youth spent building myth from nothing.

Just Kids reads like an elegy in real time a story of devotion, rebellion, and the birth of vision in a world that was falling apart beautifully.

Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.

We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.

To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.

We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
