Jamaica Kincaid Boeken
25 mei 1949
Jamaica Kincaid is een gevierde auteur die thema's als identiteit, postkolonialisme en de complexiteit van familierelaties indringend onderzoekt. Haar proza, vaak lyrisch en dromerig, wordt gekenmerkt door een onverschrokken analyse van historisch en persoonlijk trauma. Door haar werken probeert Kincaid verborgen machtsdynamieken bloot te leggen en heersende vertellingen uit te dagen. Haar onderscheidende stem en diepgaande begrip van de menselijke psyche maken haar tot een essentiële schrijfster voor iedereen die op zoek is naar literatuur die zowel mooi als provocerend is.
