 |
Jamaica Kincaid, author of At the Bottom of the River, Lucy, Annie John, My Brother, Mon Frere, My Garden and a variety of essays and short-stories, speaks with Don Swaim about life, writing and family. She adopted the penname Jamaica Kincaid fearing that the people from her homeland of Antigua would not understand what she was writing. Due to this fear, Kincaid has always considered her writing weak to start, but claims she finds herself and gains strength as the novel progresses. Kincaid and Swaim talk about this and more in this 1991 interview. Listen
