10242New York. 1988. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0374266387. 96 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Cynthia Krupat. Signed by the Author. keywords: Caribbean Antigua American Literature Women. DESCRIPTION - �If you go to Antigua as a tourist this is what you will see. If you come by airplane you will land at the V. C. Bird International Airport. Vere Cornwall V.C. Bird is the Prime Minister of Antigua. You may be the sort of tourist who would wonder why a Prime Minister would want an air- port named after him - why not a school why not a hospital why not some great public monument. You are a tourist and you have not yet seen. .' So begins Jamaica Kincaid's new book which shows us what we have not yet seen of the place where she grew up - a ten-by-twelve-mile island in the British West Indies. First there is the perhaps familiar aerial view of this longed-for place the disproportionately large airport the careening drive over bad roads in a Japanese taxi the dilapidated school and hospital the mockery of a library. Then there is the sea: �That water - have you ever seen anything like it Far out to the horizon the color of the water is navy blue; nearer the water is the color of the North American sky. Oh what beauty!' What follows is less familiar a new point of view for it is unlikely that on vacation you have had the time to think clearly about the people you are visiting - their colonial history their government their manners their sense of time - or about their opinion of you. You are English or European or American escaping the banality and corruption of your large place; they are Antiguan formerly British and unable to escape the same drawbacks of their own little realm. This expansive essay - lyrical sardonic and forthright by turns in a Swiftian mode - cannot help but amplify our vision of one small place and all that it signifies. inventory #10242 hardcover
