At the Bottom of the River is Jamaica Kincaid's first published
work, a selection of inter-connected prose poems told from the
perspective of a young Afro-Caribbean girl. Collecting pieces
written for the New Yorker and the Paris Review between 1978 and
1982, including the seminal 'Girl', these stunning works announced
a fully-formed, generational talent and firmly established the
themes that Kincaid would continue to return to in her later work:
the loss of childhood, the fractious nature of mother-daughter
relationships, the intangible beauty of the natural world, and the
striving for independence in a colonial landscape. Powerful and
lyrical, this is an unforgettable collection from a unique and
necessary literary voice. Part of the Picador Collection, a new
series showcasing the best of modern literature.
