{"product_id":"9781917092234-secondhand-i-remember","title":"I Remember","description":"With a new introduction by Olivia Laing, alongside Paul Auster's original. 'A masterpiece. One by one, the so-called important books of our time will be forgotten, but Joe Brainard's modest little gem will endure.'  Paul Auster   An enduring gem, Joe Brainard's I Remember is a literary and artistic cult classic. Brainard's method was brilliantly simple: to set down specific memories as they rose to the surface of his consciousness, each beginning with the refrain 'I remember': 'I remember that little jerk you give just before you fall asleep. Like falling.'  Recollections - jokes, confessions, daydreams and memories - were carefully, lovingly woven together. They were of family and friends; of movie stars; of early heterosexual fumblings and later gay life. Brainard's pared-back prose dodged both self-pity and judgement of others, and was written with an ear for musical cadence and an extraordinary painter's eye. The result is witty, incantatory, profound and wholly captivating.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49193676865755,"sku":"9781917092234-SECONDHAND","price":8.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/aea704a5-3bef-4f5d-93d5-60e396f75b1f.jpg?v=1787935527","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781917092234-secondhand-i-remember","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
