My Brother

by Jamaica Kincaid

My Brother Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Jamaica Kincaid's incantatory, poetic, and often shockingly frank recounting of her brother Devon Drew's life is also the story of her family on the island of Antigua, a constellation centered on the powerful, sometimes threatening figure of the writer's mother. Kincaid's unblinking record of a life that ed too early speaks volumes about the difficult truths at the heart of all families.

Synopsis:

Jamaica Kincaid's incantatory, poetic, and often shockingly frank recounting of her brother's life and death is also the story of her family on the island of Antigua. "Visceral and wrenching, this is a memoir of mourning . . . Kincaid's revelations are both intoxicating and redeeming".--Renee Graham, "The Boston Sunday Globe".
