Audies (1998)

Jamaica Kincaid's brother Devon Drew died of AIDS on January 19, 1996, at the age of thirty-three. Kincaid's incantatory, poetic, and often shockingly frank recounting of her brother's life and death is also a story of her family on the island of Antigua, a constellation centered on the powerful, sometimes threatening figure of the writer's mother. My Brother is an unblinking record of a life that ended too early, and it speaks volumes about the difficult truths at the heart of all families.

"My Brother" is a 1997 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.

Descriere

Jamaica Kincaid's incantatory, poetic, and often shockingly frank recounting of her brother's life and death is also the story of her family on the island of Antigua. "Visceral and wrenching, this is a memoir of mourning . . . Kincaid's revelations are both intoxicating and redeeming".--Renee Graham, "The Boston Sunday Globe".
