My Brother

Description

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFinalist for the 1997 National Book Award for NonfictionJamaica Kincaid’s brother Devon Drew died of AIDS on January 19, 1996, at the age of thirty-three. Kincaid’s incantatory, poetic, and often shockingly frank recounting of her brother’s life and death is also a story of her family on the island of Antigua, a constellation centered on the powerful, sometimes threatening figure of the writer’s mother. My Brother is an unblinking record of a life that ended too early, and it speaks volumes about the difficult truths at the heart of all families.\nDETAILS\nISBN-13: 9781250340603\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPublisher: Picador\n\n\nPublication Date: July 16, 2024\nPages: 208
