#5 Joe Brainard - ‘I Remember’ (1975)

An artist tells us his life through individual moments and memories, each one beginning with ‘I remember...’. A very satisfying creative writing exercise and such an original way of creating a memoir. If you’re curious as to why some things stick in your mind, consider writing them all down. You’ll be reminded of just how much living you’ve done. The only rules are honesty and indiscrimination. You have to say it all!
