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 I Remember, which quickly sold out; he wrote two subsequent volumes for Angel Hair, More I Remember (1972) and More I Remember More (1973), both of which proved as popular as the original. In 1973, the Museum of Modern Art in New York published Brainard's I Remember Christmas, a new text for which he also contributed a cover design and four drawings. Excerpts from the Angel Hair editions appeared in Interview, Gay Sunshine, The World and the New York Herald. 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 I Remember. This complete edition is prefaced by poet and translator Ron Padgett.","brand":"Brainyard, Joe \u0026 Padgett, Ron","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46798790492499,"sku":"9781887123488","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/brainyard-joe-padgett-ron-joe-brainyard-i-remember-2001-paperback-9781887123488-54979803087187.jpg?v=1727157005","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/joe-brainyard-i-remember-2001-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
