| book description |

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 non-fiction 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, humour, and fearlessness, has become one of our essential writers.
