Jamaica Kincaid's inspired, lyrical short stories Reading Jamaica Kincaid is to plunge, gently, into another way of seeing both the physical world and its elusive inhabitants. Her voice is, by turns, naively whimsical and biblical in its assurance, and it speaks of what is partially remembered partly divined. The memories often concern a childhood in the Caribbean--family, manners, and landscape--as distilled and transformed by Kincaid's special style and vision. Kincaid leads her readers to consider, as if for the first time, the powerful ties between mother and child; the beauty and destructiveness of nature; the gulf between the masculine and the feminine; the significance of familiar things--a house, a cup, a pen. Transfiguring our human form and our surroundings--shedding skin, darkening an afternoon, painting a perfect place--these stories tell us something we didn't know, in a way we hadn't expected.

不知道怎麼給我對象打分
評分Jamaica後期重點現實主義。早起的這幾個短篇都是講母女關係 -中美洲文學 A lazy WEEKEND afternoon kind of book
評分隻看瞭其中的girl
評分不知道怎麼給我對象打分
評分特彆優秀,給現實中復雜微妙母女關係的內核套上魔幻的如夢般的細節與行動。母親和女兒之間間歇性的親密、冷淡及持續的相互厭惡交織在生活的方方麵麵。Kincaid寫作的韻律和節奏感非常強,會有許許多多的奇妙的循環反復。最喜歡what I have been doing lately, my mother和girl三篇。
