hardcover. Etat : Very Good in Dustjacket. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1983. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0374106606. 96 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Cynthia Krupat. Jacket illustration, 'Green Summer' by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, 1868. keywords: Caribbean A…ntigua Literature Women America World Literature. DESCRIPTION - 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, naïvely whimsical and biblical in its assurance, and it speaks of what is partly 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. 'Girl,' the first story in this collection of ten pieces, plays with a particular but typical upbringing: 'Wash the white clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap; wash the color clothes on Tuesday and put them on the clothesline to dry always eat your food in such a way that it won't turn someone else's stomach; on Sundays, try to walk like a lady and not like the slut you are so bent on becoming.' The catalogue of demands is varied, the refrain repeated, as in a song. In 'Holidays,' a trip to the country is related with the same light touch. The title story, 'At the Bottom of the River,' is a culmination of the themes and imagery that inform most of this short but seemingly limitless book. 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. inventory #42547.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine (price-clipped). First Edition/Later Printing. Second Printing, as an alternative to the first edition. This copy has been SIGNED by Jamaica Kincaid on the title page. A beautiful copy of the author's first book - a magical collection of ten pieces. Jamaica Kincaid was born… in St. John's, Antigua, in the West Indies. Dustjacket praise by Derek Walcott. Winner of the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. Starts with her first published New Yorker fiction piece, "Girl," the story with which she felt she found her voice as a writer. An intense one-sentence, three-page story. "Girl" is the first story in the collection. It was originally released on June 26, 1978 in The New Yorker[3] and examines the struggles of growing up young and female on a post-colonial poor Caribbean island. "Girl" is series of instructions, warnings and advice given by a mother to her daughter on how to behave especially in the presence of men. The mother frets about her daughter maturing into a woman, reflective of Jamaica Kincaid's own experiences growing up with her forceful mother in Antigua. The structure consists of a single sentence, punctuated by semi-colons, detailing the advice imparted from mother to daughter. The mother's voice is predominant in the narrative, only interrupted twice by the daughter who makes a feigned attempt to defend herself. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 82 pages. Published in 1983. The author's breakthrough debut collection of short stories. One of the most important American literary debuts of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other s…ubsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Jamaica Kincaid's "At The Bottom of The River: Stories". Her slim yet spectacular debut, still her best book thus far: Deceptively simple stories that evoke and recreate an Edenic, rural childhood in the West Indies (Antigua) in a way that is fully alive and truly universal. Like every serious reader of literature, a reader from the East Indies (Asia-Pacific) will relate to and relish Kincaid's vivid memories. "More thrilling than any prose I've read in the last few years by a writer from this continent" (Susan Sontag). An absolute "must-have" title for Jamaica Kincaid collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by Jamaica Kincaid. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great collection. This is one of very few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws ("price-clipped" is pandemic), are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the finest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JAMAICA KINCAID TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0374106606. Signed by Author.
