{"product_id":"i-remember","title":"I Remember","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe American artist''s much-imitated memoir, described by Paul Auster as \"one of the few totally original books I have ever read.”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoe Brainard''s \u003ci\u003eI Remember\u003c\/i\u003e is a literary and artistic cult classic, praised and admired by writers from Paul Auster to John Ashery 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\": \"I remember when I thought that if you did anything bad, policemen would put you in jail.\" Brainard''s enduring gem of a book has been issued in various forms over the past thirty years. In 1970, Angel Hair books published the first edition of \u003ci\u003eI Remember\u003c\/i\u003e, which quickly sold out; he wrote two subsequent volumes for Angel Hair, \u003ci\u003eMore I Remember\u003c\/i\u003e (1972) and \u003ci\u003eMore I Remember More\u003c\/i\u003e (1973), both of which proved as popular as the original. In 1973, the Museum of Modern Art in New York published Brainard''s \u003ci\u003eI Remember Christmas\u003c\/i\u003e, a new text for which he also contributed a cover design and four drawings. Excerpts from the Angel Hair editions appeared in \u003ci\u003eInterview\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGay Sunshine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe World\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Herald\u003c\/i\u003e. Then in 1975, Full Court Press issued a revised version collecting all three of the Angel Hair volumes and added new material, using the original title \u003ci\u003eI Remember\u003c\/i\u003e. This complete edition is prefaced by poet and translator Ron Padgett.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57306280624510,"sku":"NW9781887123488","price":12.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781887123488.jpg?v=1778693680","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/i-remember","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
