Considered an exceptional work since its publication in 1970, this book by Joe Brainard gathers more than 1,000 evocations that begin with the words "I remember". These are mostly brief phrases that trigger images in the reader's mind, images with which several generations around the world have grown up. The result is an endearing glimpse into Brainard's life and a portrait of the culture and popular imagination of the United States during the 1940s and 50s.
Joe Brainard was an American artist and writer associated with the New York School. His prodigious and innovative body of work included assemblages, collages, drawing, and painting, as well as designs for book and album covers, theatrical sets and costumes. In particular, Brainard broke new ground in using comics as a poetic medium in his collaborations with other New York School poets. He is best known for his memoir I Remember, of which Paul Auster said: "It is ... one of the few totally original books I have ever read."
