| Description: | Select Guide Rating The first short-story collection from Jamaica Kincaid, this is a stunning evocation of life as a young Afro-Caribbean woman. <p><b><i>At the Bottom of the River </i>is Jamaica Kincaid’s first published work, a selection of inter-connected prose poems told from the perspective of a young Afro-Caribbean girl.</b><br><br>Collecting pieces written for the<i> New Yorker</i> and the<i> Paris Review </i>between 1978 and 1982, including the seminal ‘Girl’, these stunning works announced a fully-formed, generational talent and firmly established the themes that Kincaid would continue to return to in her later work: the loss of childhood, the fractious nature of mother–daughter relationships, the intangible beauty of the natural world, and the striving for independence in a colonial landscape.<br><br>Powerful and lyrical, this is an unforgettable collection from a unique and necessary literary voice.<br><br><b>Part of the Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern literature.</b></p> |
