Considered an exceptional work ever since its publication in 1970, this book gathers more than 1,000 evocations that begin with the words "I remember.” It consists of phrases, most of them brief, that flip a switch in the reader’s mind by eliciting images with which several generations from around the world have grown up. The result is an endearing glimpse of Brainard’s life and a portrait of the culture and popular imaginary of the United States during the 1940s and 50s.
Considerada una obra excepcional desde su publicación en 1970, este libro recoge más de 1.000 evocaciones que empiezan con las palabras "Me acuerdo.” Se trata de frases, en su mayoría breves, que activan un resorte en la mente al rescatar imágenes con las que han crecido varias generaciones de todo el mundo. El resultado es una entrañable mirada a lo más íntimo de la vida de Brainard y un retrato de la cultura y del imaginario popular de los Estados Unidos de los cuarenta y los cincuenta.
