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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Granary Books","offers":[{"title":"Joe Brainard: I Remember | Joe Brainard | Paperback | 9781887123488 | New | Memoir 1607282","offer_id":50679826186498,"sku":"1607282","price":41.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71Npzl4Pl-L.jpg?v=1791367754","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/joe-brainard-i-remember","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
