Happy Birthday to Jamaica Kincaid (formerly Elaine Potter Richardson), my favourite Antiguan author, who was born on May 25, 1949.
In an earlier post, I told y'all that I’m in a We Read Jamaica Kincaid group on Instagram. We’ve been reading her books in publication order.

Absolutely delighted that Antiguan author Joanne C. Hillhouse won the prestigious Anthony N. Sagba Award for Caribbean Excellence!
I thoroughly enjoyed her novella Dancing Nude in the Moonlight, and look forward to reading her other works.
