You might enjoy this book if you appreciate a unique blend of memoir and poetry that captures the essence of everyday memories and experiences. Its nostalgic and candid style is perfect for those interested in the interplay between personal reflection and cultural commentary, offering an intimate glimpse into the past through beautifully evocative prose.

As autobiography, Brainard's method was brilliantly simple: to set down specific memories ('everything is interesting, sooner or later') as they rose to the surface of his consciousness, each prefaced by the refrain 'I remember.'

Description

I Remember by Joe Brainard is a cult classic, envied and admired by writers from Frank O'Hara to John Ashbery and Edmund White.

As autobiography, Brainard's method was brilliantly simple: he set down specific memories as they rose to the surface of his consciousness, each prefaced by the refrain "I remember."

Fifty-two years after its original US publication in 1970, this is the first UK edition.

"In simple, forthright, declarative sentences, he charts the map of the human soul and permanently alters the way we look at the world. I Remember is both uproariously funny and deeply moving. 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
