Brainard's method was brilliantly simple: to set down specific memories as they rose to the surface of his consciousness, each beginning with the refrain 'I remember': 'I remember that little jerk you give just before you fall asleep. Like falling.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecollections - jokes, confessions, daydreams and memories - were carefully, lovingly woven together. They were of family and friends; of movie stars; of early heterosexual fumblings and later gay life. Brainard's pared-back prose dodged both self-pity and judgement of others, and was written with an ear for musical cadence and an extraordinary painter's eye. The result is witty, incantatory, profound and wholly captivating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46985616130284,"sku":"9781917092234","price":22.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/0b71ad88f3f9ea5b08208b732cf58040.jpg?v=1763029409","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/i-remember-by-joe-brainard-9781917092234","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
