«Ik herinner me» is Joe Brainard's autobiographical work, published by Uitgeverij Oevers in paperback (232 pages, in Dutch).
Joe Brainard evokes his life in a chain of memories arising from his consciousness, each preceded by the phrase «Ik herinner me» («I remember»). The book moves from his childhood in Oklahoma in the 1950s to his bohemian years in New York in the 1960s and 1970s, composing an intimate and fragmentary portrait of the artist and his era.
«Ik herinner me» was originally published in 1970 under the title «I remember»; this 2022 Dutch edition includes a foreword by Paul Auster and a translation by Johannes Jonkers.
For readers of memoirs and autobiographical narrative, with an interest in queer literature and mid-twentieth-century American cultural life.
