The result is an effective rendering of a girl's struggle to discover her own identity. That art is a prose blend of European, American, and Caribbean folk forms of expression. Through Annie, Kincaid has brilliantly brought girlhood in the West Indies to literature as a masterful work of art. This bildungsroman (coming-of-age story) has become Kincaid's best-known work to date. Some critics consider Annie John a novel because the compilation of interwoven stories uncover the moral and psychological growth of the title character. Her second book, Annie John (1985), is comprised of short stories that first appeared in The New Yorker. Simultaneously, Kincaid expresses the significance and politics involved in that transition. Kincaid has been praised for her ability to tell the story of a girl attaining womanhood with all the emotion and beauty it deserves. Ever since Jamaica Kincaid's work began appearing in The New Yorker magazine, it has excited critics and enthralled readers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Orlando Sentinel Read a sample Listen to a sample Packed with passion, war, intrigue, and revenge. ![]() The Washington Post Vivid and fascinating. there is never a lull in his majestic novel overflowing with passion, rage, treachery, barbarism, prolonged excitement and endless passages of sheer, exquisite colour.
