All Books Jamaica Kincaid Bibliography Book Marks Author Info "Mr. Potter" This is perhaps the saddest, but most wise and beautiful book that you will read this year. It is perhaps the saddest, but most wise and beautiful book that you will ever read. It may change your life, if not certainly your heart. However, to acknowledge author Jamaica Kincaid's fatalistic undercurrent, it may do nothing to you at all. Kincaid's personal history is well-known: Born in 1949 into poverty on the Caribbean island of Antigua , at age 17, she emigrated to the U.S. from St. John's, Antigua, to become an au pair in New York. (She has said in interviews that "servant" is the word she prefers.) Energetic, intense, and thoughtful, her servant days were numbered. For several years, she took odd jobs. Some involved writing. In 1978, Kincaid began freelancing for The New Yorker , at that time under the literary leadership of William Shawn. Initially, she wrote for the magazine's "Talk of the Town" section. Shawn encouraged her work, and, she acknowledges helped her find her voice. She began writing short stories, direct and formal, yet highly personal. Then books. These were about the life, the family, and the poverty-ridden culture that she had left behind.

Introduction About the Author Discussion Questions Browse by Subject ... more guides THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MY MOTHER by Jamaica Kincaid add to cart INTRODUCTION Few writers have gained such acclaim and following as quickly as Jamaica Kincaid. Her five books have amazed and stunned both critics and readers, propelling them into unfamiliar territory with a unique prose likely to leave a memorable impression forever. Her style of writing, similar to a poet's musical understanding of the nature of things, sets her apart from other authors. Kincaid draws in readers with frank and often horrific scenes, never shying away from revealing what we fear most. She does so without condemnation, instead presenting characters and their lives matter-of-factly. Her unpretentious storytelling probes into dark corners some would rather leave undisturbed. Her novels and short stories suggest an ongoing fictional autobiography. Her first book, At the Bottom of the River , is a collection of short stories in which Caribbean childhood is explored, sensuality and fierce emotion displayed, and family relations and death experienced. Annie John , a coming of age tale about a young girl growing up in Antigua, Kincaid's hometown, ends with the 17-year-old protagonist leaving the island for good, on her way to study to be a nurse in England. Her one nonfiction book
