Critics Review
‘An unaffectedly sumptuous, irresistible writer’ – Susan Sontag
‘What a writer – elegant, uncompromising, simultaneously direct and layered and complex’ – Ali Smith, author of Gliff
‘I’ve read everything by Jamaica Kincaid, and I’ve still never read anyone like her. If you are new to Kincaid, I envy you’ – Jackie Kay, author of May Day
‘Both a daughter of Brontë and Woolf and her own inimitable self’ – The Wall Street Journal
A sparkling collection of essays spanning five decades. Kincaid, in my view, is among the few writers in the very top rank: the real thing. Whether she’s skewering a piece of someone else’s prose or dilating on roses (she writes about gardening a lot), this author never misses – Sara Wheeler * TLS *
