}}Jamaica Kincaid ({{IPAc-en|k|ɪ|n|ˈ|k|eɪ|d}}; born May 25, 1949)[1] is an Antiguan-American novelist, essayist, gardener, and gardening writer. She was born in St. John's, Antigua (part of the twin-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda). She lives in North Bennington, Vermont (in the United States) during the summers, and is Professor of African and African American Studies in Residence at Harvard University during the academic year.[2]

Biography

Early life

Jamaica Kincaid was born Elaine Potter Richardson in St. John's, Antigua, on May 25, 1949.[3] She grew up in relative poverty with her mother, a literate, cultured woman and home-maker, and her stepfather, a carpenter.[4][3][4][5] She was very close to her mother until her three brothers were born in quick succession, starting when she was nine years old. After her brothers' births, Kincaid resented her mother, who thereafter focused primarily on her brothers needs. Kincaid later recalled,

our family money remained the same, but there were more people to feed and to clothe, and so everything got sort of shortened, not only material things but emotional things. The good emotional things, I got a short end of that. But then I got more of things I didn't have, like a certain kind of cruelty and neglect.[4]

In a New York Times interview, Kincaid also said that "The way I became a writer was that my mother wrote my life for me and told it to me."[6]

Kincaid was educated in the British colonial education system, as Antigua did not gain its independence from England until 1981.[3][4][7] Although she was intelligent and frequently tested at the top of her class, her mother removed Kincaid from school at age sixteen to help support the family when her third and last brother was born because her stepfather was ill and could not provide for the family any more.[4] In 1966, her mother sent her to Scarsdale, an wealthy suburb of New York City, when she was only seventeen, to work as an au pair.[8] However, after this move, Kincaid refused to send money home. Additionally, "she left no forwarding address and was cut off from her family until her return to Antigua 20 years later".[9]

Family

In 1979, Kincaid married the composer and Bennington College professor Allen Shawn, son of The New Yorker's longtime editor William Shawn and brother of actor Wallace Shawn. They divorced in 2002. They have two children: a son, Harold, the music producer/songwriter Levelsoundz, and a graduate of Northeastern University, and a daughter, Annie, who graduated from Harvard and now works in marketing. Kincaid is the President of the Levelsoundz Fan Club, which is the official fan club for her son.

Kincaid is a keen gardener who has written extensively on the subject. She is also a convert to Judaism.[10]

Career overview

While working as an au pair, Kincaid enrolled in evening classes at a community college.[11] After three years, she resigned from her job to attend Franconia College in New Hampshire on a full scholarship. However, Kincaid dropped out of school after one year and returned to New York.[3] In New York City, she started writing for a teenage girls' magazine and changed her name to Jamaica Kincaid in 1973 when her writing was first published.[12] She described changing her name as "a way for [her] to do things without being the same person who couldn't do them—the same person who had all these weights".[13] On her choice of first and last name, Kincaid explained that Jamaica is an English corruption of what Columbus called Xaymaca as well as it is the part of the world that she is from and Kincaid appeared to go well with Jamaica.[14] Kincaid became a writer for The Village Voice and Ingénue. Kincaid's short fiction appeared in The Paris Review and The New Yorker, where her novel Lucy was originally serialized.[15] Kincaid is an award-winning writer whose work has been both praised and criticized for its subject matter because her writing largely draws upon her own life and her tone is often perceived as angry.[11] In response, Kincaid counters that many writers also draw upon personal experience, and thus to describe her writing as autobiographical and angry is not valid criticism.[16] Jamaica Kincaid was named the 50th commencement speaker at Bard College at Simon’s Rock in 2019.[17]

The New Yorker

As a result of her budding writing career and friendship with George W. S. Trow, who wrote many pieces for The New Yorker column "The Talk of the Town",[3][18] Kincaid became acquainted with The New Yorker's editor, William Shawn, who was impressed with Kincaid's writing.[11] He employed her as a staff writer in 1976 and then eventually as a featured columnist for "Talk of the Town", which lasted nine years.[11] William Shawn's tutelage legitimized Kincaid as a writer and proved pivotal to her development of voice. In all, she was a staff writer for The New Yorker for twenty years.[19] She resigned from The New Yorker in 1996 when the editor Tina Brown chose actress Roseanne Barr to guest-edit an issue as an original feminist voice. Even though circulation rose under Brown, Kincaid was critical of Brown's direction in making the magazine less literary and more celebrity-oriented.[11]

Kincaid recalls that when she was a writer for The New Yorker, she would often be questioned, particularly by women, on how she was able to obtain her position. Kincaid felt that these questions were posed to her because she was a young black woman "from nowhere ... I have no credentials. I have no money. I literally come from a poor place. I was a servant. I dropped out of college. The next thing you know I'm writing for The New Yorker, I have this sort of life, and it must seem annoying to people."[16]

Talk Stories was later published in 2001 as a collection of "77 short pieces Kincaid wrote for The New Yorkers 'Talk of the Town' column between 1974 and 1983".[20]

Writing

Her novels are loosely autobiographical, though Kincaid has warned against interpreting their autobiographical elements too literally: "Everything I say is true, and everything I say is not true. You couldn't admit any of it to a court of law. It would not be good evidence."[21] Her work often prioritizes "impressions and feelings over plot development"[5] and features conflict with both a strong maternal figure and colonial and neocolonial influences.[22] Excerpts from her non-fiction book A Small Place were used as part of the narrative for Stephanie Black's 2001 documentary, Life and Debt.[23]

One of Kincaid's contributions according to Henry Louis Gates, Jr., African-American literary critic, scholar, writer, and public intellectual, is that:

{{quote|She never feels the necessity of claiming the existence of a black world or a female sensibility. She assumes them both. I think it's a distinct departure that she's making, and I think that more and more black American writers will assume their world the way that she does. So that we can get beyond the large theme of racism and get to the deeper themes of how black people love and cry and live and die. Which, after all, is what art is all about.[24]}}

Themes

Her writing explores such themes as colonialism and colonial legacy, postcolonialism and neo-colonialism, gender and sexuality, renaming,[14] mother-daughter relationships, British and American imperialism, colonial education, writing, racism, class, power, and adolescence. In her most recent novel, See Now Then, Kincaid also first explores the theme of time.[16]

Tone and Style

Kincaid's unique style has created disagreement among critics and scholars, and as Harold Bloom explains, 'Most of the published criticism of Jamaica Kincaid has stressed her political and social concerns, somewhat at the expense of her literary qualities".[25] As works such as At the Bottom of the River and The Autobiography of My Mother use Antiguan cultural practices, some critics say these works employ "magical realism". "The author claims, however, that [her work] is 'magic' and 'real,' but not necessarily [works] of 'magical realism.'" Other critics claim that her style is "modernist" because much of her fiction is "culturally specific and experimental".[26] It has also been praised for its keen observation of character, curtness, wit,[4] and lyrical quality.[11] Her short story "Girl" is essentially a list of instructions on how a girl should live and act, but the messages are much larger than the literal list of suggestions. Kincaid makes a list of motherly orders a piece of literature. Derek Walcott, 1992 Nobel laureate, described Kincaid's writing: "As she writes a sentence, psychologically, its temperature is that it heads toward its own contradiction. It's as if the sentence is discovering itself, discovering how it feels. And that is astonishing, because it's one thing to be able to write a good declarative sentence; it's another thing to catch the temperature of the narrator, the narrator's feeling. And that's universal, and not provincial in any way".[24] Susan Sontag has also commended Kincaid's writing for its "emotional truthfulness," poignancy, and complexity.[13] Her writing has been described as "fearless" and her "force and originality lie in her refusal to curb her tongue." [27] Giovanna Covi describes her unique writing: "The tremendous strength of Kincaid's stories lie in their capacity to resist all canons. They move at the beat of a drum and the rhythm of jazz ..."[25] She is described as writing with a "double vision"[25] meaning that one line of plot mirrors another, providing the reader with rich symbolism that enhances the possibilities of interpretation.

Influences

Kincaid's writing is largely influenced by her life circumstances even though she discourages readers from taking her fiction too literally.[4] To do so, according to the writer Michael Arlen, is to be "disrespectful of a fiction writer's ability to create fictional characters". Arlen, who would become a colleague at The New Yorker, is whom Kincaid worked for as an au pair and the figure whom the father in Lucy is based on. Despite her caution to readers, Kincaid has also said that: "I would never say I wouldn't write about an experience I've had."[13]

Reception and Criticism

The reception of Kincaid's work has been mixed. Her writing stresses deep social and even political commentary, as Harold Bloom cites as a reason why the "literary qualities" of her work tend to be less of a focus for critics.[25] For some, her Writing for Salon.com, Peter Kurth called Kincaid's work My Brother the most overrated book of 1997.[28] Reviewing her latest novel, See Now Then in The New York Times, Dwight Garner called it "bipolar," "half séance, half ambush" and "the kind of lumpy exorcism that many writers would have composed and then allowed to remain unpublished. It picks up no moral weight as it rolls along. It asks little of us, and gives little in return."[29] Another New York Times review describes it as "not an easy book to stomach," but goes on to explain, "Kincaid's force and originality lie in her refusal to curb her tongue, in an insistence on home truths that spare herself least of all." [27] Kate Tuttle addresses this in her article for The Boston Globe, "Kincaid allowed that critics are correct to point out the book's complexity. "The one thing the book is," she said, "is difficult, and I meant it to be." [30] Some critics have been harsh, such as one review for Mr. Potter (2002) that reads, "It wouldn't be so hard if the repetition weren't coupled, here and everywhere it occurs, with a stern rebuff to any idea that it might be meaningful."[31] On the other hand, there has been much praise for her writing: "The superb precision of Kincaid's style makes it a paradigm of how to avoid lots of novelistic pitfalls."[32]
