Today We Honor Jamaica Kincaid Elaine Potter Richardson better known as Jamaica Kincaid is a Caribbean novelist, gardener and gardening writer. She was born in the city of St. John’s on the island of Antigua in the nation of Antigua and Barbuda. Kincaid’s short fiction has appeared in the Paris Review and The New Yorker, where her novel Lucy was originally serialized. She changed her name to Jamaica Kincaid in 1973, when her writing was first published. She described this name change 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". Kincaid explained that "Jamaica" is an English corruption of what Columbus called Xaymaca, the part of the world that she comes from, and "Kincaid" appeared to go well with "Jamaica".

Die Tyrannei der Sprache
Postkoloniale Literaturen haben das Zeug, unseren Blick auf die Welt und auf uns selbst nachhaltig zu verändern. Bei ihrer Entstehung greifen aber oftmals Kräfte, die in der literaturkritischen Reflektion selbst kaum beachtet werden. Sie spiegeln in sich die Verhältnisse, aus denen sie hervorgegangen sind.

Leitura #112 de 2021 Título: A Autobiografia da minha mãe Autor: Jamaica Kincaid Tradução: Debora Landsberg Editora: @editora_Alfaguara, @companhiadasletras Ano: 2020 Páginas: 144 Classificação: 3 estrelas Nosso livro de novembro do Clube da Leitura Companhia das Letras. Rendeu uma ótima discussão. Um livro muito bem escrito, mas foi uma leitura muito difícil. Árido e por vezes cruel, traz a história de Xuella, que perdeu a mãe no seu parto e é entregue pelo pai, para ser criada pela lavadeira da família. A protagonista parece ser feita de sensações e sexualidade. Carente de afeto, assim como foi seu pai. Uma trama que mostra o quanto a falta de amor e carinho impacta no desenvolvimento da pessoa. O livro me desperta sentimentos ambivalentes. Termino a leitura cansada e aliviada, por chegar ao seu final. Um livro diferente, tem seus méritos. Capa bonita, achei mais bacana que a original. Edição impecável. O livro é fininho, mas não é uma leitura fluida e fácil. A escrita da autora é muito bonita, não é a toa que ela já foi cotada para o Nobel de Literatura. Dona de vários prêmios literários, é professora de Harvard. A Alfaguara acaba de lançar seu terceiro livro ( o segundo editado aqui), Agora veja então, que eu também quero ler. Já leu? Quer ler?

Quote
That the world I was in could be soft, lovely, and nourishing was more than I could bear, and so I stood there and wept, for I didn't want to love one more thing in my life, didn't want one more thing that could make my heart break into a million little pieces at my feet. But all the same, there it was, and I could not do much about it; for even I could see that I was too young for real bitterness, real regret, real hard-heartedness.
Jamaica Kincaid from Lucy

Pretty excited for some of these new books we're preparing for the older kids. There's a lot of really old books in this library that are falling apart that need to be replaced with new copies and titles altogether; the silver lining is that now there's some time to go through the shelves and see just how much we need to get through. As always, stay safe everyone. #books #librariansofinstagram #librarian #johnsteinbeck #ralphellison #malcolmx #sandracisneros #jamaicakincaid #reginaldrose #staysafe https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4ePB_hue8/?igshid=17h4jd0z2fc69

I was feeling deeply guilty/inadequate about the amount of time I was making for reading this month. Was part of the problem going down to one physical therapy appointment a week instead of two? Jumpstarting those days reading a book in a waiting room definitely increased my need to find time to read throughout the day. Anyway, now that I am stacking up all my reads for #februarywrapup, it doesn’t look so bad. As you can see my reading was dominated by the #blacklitchallenge, though I am feeling sad about all those excelleny books on my TBR that I didn’t get to. Back to the general TBR shelves they go! I’ve done individual posts on all of those books, but I haven’t talked about the others: . . MOOMINVALLEY IN NOVEMBER was a bedtime story book for my kids, I think also the last Moomin book I hadn’t read. This is a strangely charming book, with the Moomin family away at see, their house is taken over by Hemulen, Fillyjonk, Toft, Mymble, Snufkin, and Grandpa-Grumble, six wildly different personalities who struggle to coexist without the Moomins. It was lovely. . . SOFT SCIENCE was SO GOOD. It’s central metaphor is that the narrator is a cyborg, so it spends the entire book poking at what it means to be human, especially as a woman. I need to write a full review soon, I am still organizing my thoughts. . . THE MAGICIANS: ALICE’S STORY was an impulse decision at the library. I love the TV show, but haven’t committed to the books because I am 100% here for ELIOT AND MARGO FOREVER and I hear they are less central in the books. This seemed like an easy way to dip my toes in. I wasn’t in love with this, but I did feel like I got to know and understand Alice better, which I suppose was the goal. But listen, if there was an Eliot’s Story, I would buy it in a heartbeat. . . #bookstack #themagicians #alicesstory #levgrossman #lilahsturges #piusbak #marchtrilogy #johnlewis #andrewaydin #natepowell #softscience #frannychoi #magicalnegro #morganparker #seenowthen #jamaicakincaid #thegoodlordbird #jamesmcbride #moominvalleyinnovember #tovejansson #kingsleyhart #ifbealestreetcouldtalk #jamesbaldwin https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PZFY0gqam/?igshid=1lu2amjtds3ki
