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.’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecollections – 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":52033677853003,"sku":"R9059-2243","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/31vLzzT77dL._SY445_SX342.jpg?v=1749549972"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/joe-brainard.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
