Celebrating Fifty Years of Picador Books In this acclaimed travel
memoir Jamaica Kincaid chronicles a spectacular and exotic
three-week trek through the Himalayan land of Nepal, where she and
her companions are gathering seeds for planting at home. The
natural world and, in particular, plants and gardening are central
to Kincaid's work. Among Flowers intertwines meditations on nature
and stunning descriptions of the Himalayan landscape with
observations on the ironies, difficulties and dangers of this
magnificent journey. For Kincaid and three botanist friends, Nepal
is a paradise, a place where a single day's hike can traverse
climate zones, from subtropical to alpine, encompassing flora
suitable for growing at their homes, from Wales to Vermont. Yet as
she makes clear, there is far more to this foreign world than
rhododendrons that grow thirty feet high. Danger, too, is a
constant companion - and the leeches are the least of their
worries. Unpredictable Maoist guerrillas live in these perilous
mountains, and when they do appear - as they do more than once -
their enigmatic presence lingers long after they have melted back
into the landscape. And Kincaid, who writes of the looming, lasting
effects of colonialism in her works, necessarily explores the irony
of her status as memsahib with Sherpas and bearers. A wonderful
blend of introspective insight and beautifully rendered
description, Among Flowers is a vivid, engrossing, and
characteristically frank memoir from one of the most striking
voices in contemporary literature. Part of the Picador Collection,
a new series showcasing the best in modern literature.
Jamaica Kincaid's first garden in Vermont was a plot in the middle of her front lawn. There, to the consternation of more experienced friends, she planted only seeds of the flowers she liked best.
In My Garden (Book) Kincaid gathers all she loves about gardening and plants, and examines it generously, passionately, and with sharp, idiosyncratic discrimination.
This is an intimate, playful book on gardens, the plants that fill them, and the people who tend to them.
