Jamaica Kincaid

Jamaica Kincaid can be hard to pin down — is her work fiction or autobiography? Kincaid isn’t telling. “Everything I say is true, and everything I say is not true,” she once quoted as said. “I couldn’t admit any of it to a court of law. It would not be good evidence.” The Jamaican-born author produces powerful work. Her first collection of short stories, “At the Bottom of the River,” was shortlisted for the PEN/Faulkner Award Kincaid will visit Toledo to kick of the 19th annual Authors! Authors! series at the McMaster Center of the Toledo Public Library’s Main branch. Free. 7pm. Thursday, March 28. 325 Michigan St. For more information, call 419-259-5200 or visit www.toledolibrary.org. —JS
