Jamaica Kincaid’s deeply personal memoir considers the life and death of her younger brother, Devon Drew, who died of AIDS in Antigua at thirty-three. Through his story, she examines grief, family ties, estrangement, and her complicated relationship with the island she left behind.

Kincaid’s distinctive, rhythmic prose gives this account both emotional force and literary depth. The book was a finalist for the 1997 National Book Award for Nonfiction.

This copy carries a personal inscription to poet Everett Hoagland: “To Mr. Hoagland, Sorry it took so long, all best, Jamaica Kincaid.” The inscription adds a direct literary association between the author and the poet whose estate supplied this book.
