Island Archive Entry A-05 : Jamaica Kincaid ‘The Au Pair From Up Here; Jamaica in Antigua?’
Episode 5- Jamaica Kincaid: ‘The Au Pair From Up Here; Jamaica in Antigua?’
Elaine Potter Richardson became known as Jamaica Kincaid partly so that the people of Antigua (where she was born and raised) wouldn’t know she was writing and described the change as a “way to do things without being the same person who couldn’t do them- the same person who had all these weights”. On today’s episode, we discuss her remarkable life and outstanding literary achievements.
