I Remember Brainard Joe
Joe Brainard's I Remember is a cult classic, envied and admired by writers from Frank O'Hara to John Ashbery and Edmund White. Fifty-two years after its original US publication in 1970, this is the first UK edition. As autobiography, Brainard's method was brilliantly simple: to set down specific memories as they rose to the surface of his consciousness, each prefaced by the refrain 'I remember'.
I Remember is both uproariously funny and deeply moving. 'In simple, forthright, declarative sentences, he charts the map of the human soul and permanently alters the way we look at the world. It is also one of the few totally original books I have ever read.' Paul Auster 'I would make a case for I Remember as one of the twenty or so most important American autobiographies, important for its air of unimportance and for its mingling of cultural bric-a-brac with sexual frankness and self-revelation.' New Yorker
