Rock musician Patti Smith won the National Book Award last night for Just Kids, her "sweetly evocative memoir of her relationship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe and life in the Bohemian New York of the 60s and 70s".
The fiction award was given to Jaimy Gordon for Lord of Misrule, published just this week and soon to be available through your favorite library.
