Joe Brainard's I Remember 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: to 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.'
