Description
Joe Brainard's writings offer a unique blend of wit, inventiveness, and self-revealing frankness, making him a recognisable American phenomenon. This collection brings together intimate journals, jottings, stories, one-liners, comic strips, mini-essays, and short plays, many of which have been unavailable until now. Assembled by Brainard's longtime friend and biographer Ron Padgett, the collection includes fourteen previously unpublished works, offering a fresh and affordable way to rediscover this unique American artist. The writings showcase Brainard's ability to disarm with his seemingly spontaneous nature, refusing to accede to the pieties of self-importance. This collection provides a unique insight into Brainard's life and work, presenting a full range of his writing in all its deadpan wit and madcap inventiveness.
