Om denne e-boken

A collection of the inimitable writer's essays, from her early days at The Village Voice through her time at The New Yorker.

This collection of Jamaica Kincaid's nonfiction writings, from her early days at The New Yorker until now, amounts to a brilliant, hilarious, trenchant self-portrait of one of the most surprising and original writers we have.

From the classic "Autobiography of a Dress" to her original thinking about the meaning of the garden, Kincaid writes about the world as she finds it, with her own quizzical, rapier-sharp response to reality that always takes the reader in new, life-enhancing directions.

Jamaica Kincaid was born Elaine Potter Richardson in Antigua in 1949. She has always been herself. Putting Myself Together shows how this inimitable self-created mind and spirit, endowed with inimitable wit, humor, and fearlessness, has become one of our essential writers.
