Join us to welcome Jamaica Kincaid, one of the most highly acclaimed writers of her generation with a clear, illuminating vision of humanity. Her works include Annie John, Lucy, The Autobiography of My Mother, and Mr. Potter, as well as her classic history of Antigua, A Small Place. Kincaid鈥檚 latest novel is See Now Then, a nonlinear portrait of a family living in a small New England village. Her latest book, a collaboration with artist Kara Walker, is An Encyclopedia of Gardening for Colored Children. In this irreverent and wryly humorous book, Kincaid offers an ABC of the plants that define our world and reveals the often brutal history behind them, populated with imaginative watercolor illustrations from Walker, one of America鈥檚 greatest visual artists.
