As a seventeen-year-old au pair, Jamaica Kincaid came to the United States from Antigua, which was a British colony until 1981. Her first story, “Girl,” made her famous in an instant. It consisted of only one sentence and appeared in the New Yorker, for which she later worked herself. Images and moods of her childhood on the Caribbean island shaped her work. Kincaid talks with author Gabriele von Arnim about the influences and principles of her writing. She tells why critics accused her of writing too personally and angrily, and why she is now considered a pioneer of garden literature.
»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; don’t walk bare-head in the hot sun; cook pumpkin fritters in very hot sweet oil« [from »Girl«]

Als siebzehnjähriges Au-pair kam Jamaica Kincaid aus Antigua, das bis 1981 britische Kolonie war, in die Vereinigten Staaten. Ihre erste Erzählung »Girl« machte sie auf einen Schlag bekannt. Sie bestand aus nur einem Satz und erschien im New Yorker, für den sie später selbst arbeitete. Bilder und Stimmungen ihrer Kindheit auf der karibischen Insel prägten ihr Werk. Mit der Autorin Gabriele von Arnim spricht Kincaid über Einflüsse und Prinzipien ihres Schreibens. Sie berichtet, warum Kritiker ihr vorwarfen zu persönlich und wütend zu schreiben und warum sie heute als Vorreiterin der Gartenliteratur gilt.

I wish I could explain what Ms Kincaid means to me. I wish I had the words. After watching this interview over and over I understand my words are superseded by my tears. I know, one day, I ll be able to thel her ,face to face, how much I admire her. Soon, dreams come true, I know.
