{"product_id":"otherwise-i-forget-terry-j-bradford-9781802078732","title":"Otherwise I Forget: A Novel by Clémentine Mélois","description":"Clémentine Mélois is a writer, artist, and member of Oulipo. Her first published work, \u003cem\u003eCent titres\u003c\/em\u003e (2014), is a cult classic. She has gone on to subvert children's literature and - more recently - the photo-story genre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eSinon j'oublie\u003c\/em\u003e (2017) - \u003cem\u003eOtherwise I Forget\u003c\/em\u003e - is a unique work embroidered around a selection of her collection of 'found' shopping lists. After a short foreword - exposing her interest in this universal but throw-away form of writing - we find images of 100 shopping lists accompanied by her imagined insight into the lives and minds of their authors. The result is a delightful panoramic view of contemporary France in the guise of an (autobiographical) novel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the first of her works to be translated for an Anglophone readership. More accessible than other of her works, universal in appeal, and full of humanity, \u003cem\u003eOtherwise I Forget \u003c\/em\u003eis a wonderful and deceptively simple introduction to the work of this highly original writer and artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry J.
