Joe Brainard was born in 1941. He was a painter and artist, and this little book is an art piece itself. His memories are an assortment of pop culture ("I remember 'Love Me Tender,'" "I remember the Liz-Eddit-Debbie scandal") to food ("I remember 'Payday' candy bars and eating the peanuts off first then eating the center part," "I remember 'Spam.'") and sexuality ("I remember getting erections in school and the bell rings and how handy zipper notebooks were," "I remember jerking off to sexual fantasies involving John Kerr. And Montgomery Clift.")Most of the memories are only 10-20 words, but the longest reach a page (there are only two or three that long, I think.) Reading this is fun. They almost serve as writing prompts, or at least memory prompts, which get you thinking about what you remember too. It's also fun to track Brainard's stream-of-consciousness way of writing. Sometimes you can see how one memory relates to the next, and sometimes it requires quite a leap in logic to get there.Brainard's images are crisp and clear and he often paints these pictures with very few words. And he hits so many notes. You laugh, you cry! By using "I remember..." before each one, Brainard inspires the reader to response. "Hey, I remember that too!" or "That reminds me of..." It makes reading this book an interactive experience. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We Didn't Start the Fire in Book Form *by F***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2014* If anyone is familiar with Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire", this is very similar. Joe Brainard puts together a wide compilation of personal, social, cultural, and economic memories across the span of over 100 pages. Despite the fact that I was born in 1986 and cannot relate to everything in the book, this does not stop it from being amazing. It gives a representation of not only higher order memory, but also, perhaps more importantly, humanity.This book, though not widely known, has been used repeatedly in schools and even in psychological lessons for students and clients alike to reach back into their memories and remember not only the simple things, but the complex as well. It ranges from what fresh cut grass smells like on a Sunday morning to personal experiences that Joe, as a young gay man, experienced finding himself in a world unkind to such life choices.The book is powerful, moving, easy to read, has a sense of familiarity, and can speak across the generations. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Achingly Beautiful, Articulate and Heartfelt *by B***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 23, 2020* Memories of things no longer - observations without being sappy. A specific structure. Each sentence/memory directly begins with 'I remember'. Bought several copies for friends. Would've liked the small book to be hardback, the precious object that it is. An important work by an artist that we lost too soon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/4678216-joe-brainard-i-remember](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/4678216-joe-brainard-i-remember) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
