The Autobiography Of My Mother: A Novel
New York. 1996. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. ISBN:0374107319. 228 pages. hardcover. FROM THE PUBLISHER - �My mother died at the moment I was born and so for my whole life there was nothing standing between myself and eternity; at my back was always a bleak black wind.� JAMAICA KINCAID's new novel is the haunting deeply charged story of a woman's life on the island of Dominica. Xuela Claudette Richardson daughter of a Carib mother and a half-Scottish half- African father was delivered to his laundress as an infant bundled up like his clothes: �It is possible that he would have expected better care for one than the other but which one I do not know because he was a very vain man.� Kincaid takes us from Xuela's childhood in a home where she could hear the song of the sea - �sometimes as a soft swish a lapping of waves against the shore of black stones sometimes with the anger of water boiling in a cauldron resting unsteadily on a large fire' ' - to the tin-roofed room where she lives as a schoolgirl in the house of Jack LaBatte who becomes her first lover. We learn about her passion for Roland a stevedore who steals bolts of Irish linen for her from the ships he unloads and her eventual marriage to an English doctor Philip Bailey. Xuela's is an intensely physical world redolent of overripe fruit gentian violet sulfur and rain on the road and it seethes with her sorrow her deep sympathy for those who share her history her fear of her father her desperate loneliness. But underlying all is �the black room of the world� that is Xuela's barrenness and motherlessness. The Autobiography of My Mother is a story of love fear loss and the forging of a character an account of one woman's inexorable evolution evoked in startling and magical poetry. Powerful disturbing stirring it is Jamaica Kincaid's most remarkable work to date. inventory #22166 ISBN: 0374107319. hardcover
