Talk Stories

From 1978 to 1983, Jamaica Kincaid wrote for the New Yorker's Talk of the Town section. This is a collection of that work, including short pieces on Tammy Wynette, parties, fashion, food trends, and literature. Kincaid's introduction provides witty insight on her journalistic practices during those years, before she became a well-known writer. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
