Discover the works of Joe Brainard, whose quirky style earned him a reputation as a recognizable American phenomenon and oddball classicistwith a foreword by 4321 author Paul Auster (John Ashbery)An artist associated with the New York School of poets, Joe Brainard (19421994) was a wonderful writer whose oneofakind autobiographical work I Remember has had a wide and growing influence. It is joined in this major new retrospective with many other pieces that for the first time present the full range of Brainard's writing in all its deadpan wit, madcap inventiveness, selfrevealing frankness, and generosity of spirit. The Collected Writings of Joe Brainard gathers intimate journals, jottings, stories, oneliners, comic strips, miniessays, and short plays, many of them available until now only as expensive rarities, if at all.Brainard disarms us with the seemingly tossedoff, spontaneous nature of his writing and his stubborn refusal to accede to the pieties of selfimportance, writes Paul Auster in the introduction to this collection. These little works . . . are not really about anything so much as what it means to be young, that hopeful, anarchic time when all horizons are open to us and the future appears to be without limits.Assembled by the authors longtime friend and biographer Ron Padgett and including fourteen previously unpublished works, here is a fresh and affordable way to rediscover a unique American artist.
