Talk Stories by Jamaica Kincaid 247 pages, 2001 ISBN: 0374272395 Buy it online Talk Jamaica Reviewed by Sienna Powers Trying to describe Jamaica Kincaid's voice is like trying to describe silk: the way it shimmers in the hand or captures the light. When Jamaica Kincaid writes, she speaks to you so clearly and beautifully sometimes you have to catch your breath. And there's no wondering if she is speaking to you: there is seldom any doubt. Talk Stories includes 77 short pieces Kincaid wrote for The New Yorker' s "Talk of the Town" column between 1974 and 1983. What we see is the author of At the Bottom of the River, Annie John and others develop her voice and her style. As Kincaid writes in her introduction: It was only afterward, long afterward, that I came to see that writing for the Talk of the Town was a kind of apprenticeship, that I was supposed to do it for just so long and go on to my actual writing. In an affectionate foreword to Talk Stories

With tropical ease the journey begins, but soon clouds appear, darkening and complicating her newest family portrait, Mr. Potter. Mr. Potter is the father she never knew, a taxi-driver, a man who cared little for the world, or for his women, a man about whom most of the world cared little. But he matters to Kincaid. And here she wills him back to life, the man who brought her into existence. It’s revenge and catharsis, presence and absence. The Antigua sun is in the middle of the sky, and Kincaid focuses it on Mr. Potter, mercilessly.

Talisman Tommyknockers What We Talk About White Noise Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid By Dave McCoy Jamaica Kincaid beautifully delineates hatred and fear, because she knows they are often a step away from love and obsession. At the start of Annie John, her 10-year-old heroine is engulfed in family happiness and safety. Though Annie loves her father, she is all eyes for her mother. When she is almost 12, however, the idyll ends and she falls into deep disfavor. This inexplicable loss mars both lives, as each grows adept at public falsity and silent betrayal. The pattern is set, and extended: "And now I started a new series of betrayals of people and things I would have sworn only minutes before to die for." In front of Annie's father and the world, "We were politeness and kindness and love and laughter." Alone they are linked in loathing. Annie tries to imagine herself as someone in a bookan orphan or a girl with a wicked stepmother. The trouble is, she finds, those characters' lives always end happily. Luckily for us, though not perhaps for her alter ego, Kincaid is too truthful a writer to provide such a finale.

79. Jouvert 5.2: Alexandra Schultheis, "Family Matters In Jamaica Kincaid’s The Aut Family Matters in jamaica kincaid s The Autobiography of My Mother. by. Alexandra Schultheis. kincaid, jamaica. A Small Place. London Virago Press, 1988. . http://social.chass.ncsu.edu/jouvert/v5i2/kincai.htm

Family Matters in Jamaica Kincaid's The Autobiography of My Mother by Alexandra Schultheis George Washington University, Washington D.C. Amit S. Rai begins his essay, "’Thus Spake the Subaltern…’: Postcolonial Criticism and the Scene of Desire," with the following question: "If we are sure today that the subaltern cannot speak, can we be as sure that her ghost does not, especially when postcolonial criticism seems to re-present the discourse of that ghost?" (91). In The Autobiography of My Mother , that ghost speaks in multiple voices which blur the lines between fiction, biography, autobiography, and criticism. I adopt Rai’s figure of the ghost here not to detract from the powerful subjectivity of Kincaid’s narrator, Xuela, whom Kincaid calls "more godlike" than her previous protagonists, but to emphasize her ability to transcend traditional literary and political realms. Xuela tells of her life on postcolonial Dominica, and while her story is intensely private, avoiding mention of the island’s political affairs in favor of her thoughts and relationships, it is imbrued with the history of colonialism and slavery. The story also draws on Kincaid’s own life (as does all of her fiction) and that of her grandmother, such that, as Alison Donnell writes in "When Writing the Other is Being True to the Self," "we cannot be certain who the auto-biographer is [of] this text, or if there is more than one, for if this is Kincaid’s mother’s auto/biography, then Kincaid is still present as the ‘ghost’ writer/biographer" (127). The layered voices of the female narrator disrupt familiar patterns of subjectivity and nationhood as well as the autobiographical form.

80. MY BROTHER By Jamaica Kincaid MY BROTHER jamaica kincaid Farrar Straus Giroux Young Adult ISBN 0374216819. This sixth book by Antiguanborn kincaid is a thoughtful http://www.teenreads.com/reviews/0374216819.asp

MY BROTHER Jamaica Kincaid Young Adult ISBN: 0374216819 This sixth book by Antiguan-born Kincaid is a thoughtful memoir about her youngest brother Devon's AIDS-related death. Remembering her role in the final years of his life, the author examines the nature of love, family ties, sacrifice, and death. Having left home at the age of 16, when her brothers were three, five, and seven, Kincaid did not return to Antigua for 20 years. Her relationship with her siblings is distant, based on almost no personal knowledge of them. As she puts it, "I think of my brothers as my mother's children." Upon learning of Devon's illness, Kincaid gathers a supply of AZT, a drug too expensive to be made available in Antigua, and makes a rare journey home: "I felt myself being swallowed up in a large vapor of sadness...I became afraid that he would die before I saw him again...It surprised me that I loved him; I could see that was what I was feeling, love for him, and it surprised me because I did not know him at all." Despite the distance between them, Kincaid is compelled to do all she can for her brother, condemned as he is by a poor nation with few resources to spare on the terminally ill. She finds her brother, Devon, near death in the poorest hospital in town. In Antigua, hospitals don't even have drugs on hand. A family member must fill a prescription at a pharmacy for the sick person.
