Lucy
A portrait of an indelible young woman, Kincaid's second novel is 'vivid, true and necessary' (Los Angeles Times). Lucy, a teenage girl from the West Indies, comes to North America to work as an au pair for Lewis and Mariah and their four children. Lewis and Mariah are a thrice-blessed couple--handsome, rich, and seemingly happy. Yet, almost at once, Lucy begins to notice cracks in their beautiful facade. With mingled anger and compassion, Lucy scrutinizes the assumptions and verities of her employers' world and compares them with the vivid realities of her native place. Lucy has no illusions about her own past, but neither is she prepared to be deceived about where she presently is. At the same time that Lucy is coming to terms with the way the family lives, she is also unraveling the mysteries of her own sexuality. Gradually a new person unfolds: passionate, forthright, and disarmingly honest. In Lucy, Jamaica Kincaid has created a startling new character possessed of adamantine

BOKCIRKELBOK I LUNDSTRÖMS BOKRADIO HÖSTEN 2018Jamaica Kincaid föddes 1949 på den karibiska ön Antigua som Elaine Potter Richardson, men bytte namn när hon började skriva. I dag lever hon i USA, där hon vid sidan av sitt författande arbetar som professor på Harvard. Lucy, som är en av Kincaids mest lästa romaner, är ett starkt och originellt porträtt av en ung kvinna som upptäcker -- och uppfinner -- sig själv. Den handlar om tonårsflickan Lucy som kommer från en liten karibisk ö till New York för att arbeta som au pair i en amerikansk familj. Familjen tycks ha allt som går att önska sig -- de är vackra, rika och lyckliga. Men Lucy, som är en frisinnad och avväpnande person som får alla hon möter att öppna sig, ser snart sprickorna i den fina fasaden. Själv bär hon på en historia som ingen känner till, om ett uppbrott från modern och en önskan att frigöra sig från sitt förflutna. »En av världslitteraturens mest omtyckta författare, helt underbar att läsa.«Per Wirtén, Sydsvenskan »Storslagen litteratur.«Hanna Nordenhök, Expressen »Efter att ha läst ett par böcker av henne nu måste jag tillstå att det här är sällsynt bra litteratur... Hon är en sådan författare jag vill att alla ska läsa, varken mer eller mindre.« Björn Kohlström, Jönköpings-Posten

Lucy, Uncensored
A road trip through gender identity, self-expression, and the thorny process of figuring out where you fit after high school as an out-and-proud transgender teen. Lucy imagines college as more than a chance to party with other drama nerds and be roommates with her best friend Callie. College will be her fresh start. For the first time, she'll be able to introduce herself as Lucy to people she hasn't gone to school with since kindergarten. Plus, she happens to live an hour away from one of the most prestigious theater programs in the country. She's always dreamed of going to Central, but when she finally has a chance to visit, it's not what she imagined. While Lucy and Callie are on their campus tour, two kids from their high school make the typical transphobic comments Lucy's gotten used to in her small town. She starts to worry that her dream school might end up being High School 2.0. What if she belongs somewhere else? Somewhere that she can truly have a fresh start? When Lucy finds a beautiful school with a great theater program on a list of the most LGBTQ+ friendly colleges, it seems like fate-except that the school is hundreds of miles away. And there's something unexpected about it: it's a women's college. As far as she can tell, they've never admitted a trans woman. Will they let Lucy in? There's only one way to find out: road trip!
Lucy, Ljudbok
Jamaica Kincaid är den hyllade karibisk-amerikanska författaren som av Svenska Dagbladets kritiker röstades fram som alternativ nobelpristagare 2018. Nu finns hennes roman Lucy äntligen som ljudbok, inläst av den Guldbaggenominerade skådespelaren Evin Ahmad. Romanen var bokcirkelbok i Lundströms bokradio hösten 2018. Lucy, som är en av Kincaids mest lästa romaner, är ett starkt och originellt porträtt av en ung kvinna som kommer från en liten karibisk ö till USA för att arbeta som barnflicka. Vid sin ankomst överväldigas hon av kulturkrockarna: av att åka hiss för första gången, att kunna förvara mat i kylskåp, av att uppleva en sol som inte värmer. Lucy har lämnat en plats som av de rika amerikanerna betraktas som paradiset, men som hon själv aldrig vill återvända till. Och hon har lämnat en mor som hon älskat så mycket, men vars brev hon nu lämnar oöppnade på sitt rum. Hennes betraktelser av människorna hon har runtom sig och deras priviligierade vardag är lika träffsäkra som de är syrliga, för Lucy blir snart medveten om vilken plats människor som ser ut som henne har i det samhälle hon kommit till. Jamaica Kincaid föddes 1949 på den karibiska ön Antigua som Elaine Potter Richardson, men bytte namn när hon började skriva. I dag lever hon i USA, där hon vid sidan av sitt författande arbetar som professor på Harvard. Hon debuterade på 1980-talet och blev omgående en betydande röst i det som kallades den postkoloniala litteraturen, som behandlar erfarenheten av att växa upp på en plats som styrs av ett land långt borta och förnekas sin egen kultur. Pressröster: »Jag tycker att man märker efter två sidor att det här är en Nobelprisförfattare, det är den typen av kvalitet. Det är som att läsa Camus eller Coetzee, det är den typen av tyngd. Det är helt fantastiskt bra. /…/ För mig var det här första gången på väldigt länge som jag återupptäckte hur underbart det är att läsa en riktig roman, en riktig skönlitterär text som är skriven av en mästerlig författare.« Björn Wiman, DN i Lundströms bokradios bokcirkel »På 158 sidor gestaltar Jamaica Kincaid stora frågor som kolonialism, klass och kön. Och hon gör det storartat. Man kan öppna boken var som helst och hitta formuleringar väl värda att brodera på örngottet.« Elisabeth Skog i Hallandsposten »Det är något så koncentrerat från författarens sida, ett sådant komplicerat, vackert, ibland sorgligt porträtt som vecklar upp sig på romanens få sidor och sedan bygger bo i en långt efter berättelsens slut. Som får en att flytta in i historiens melankoliska lunk och många dagar efteråt får mig att tänka på Lucy, hur det gick för henne, vad hon tänker på just nu, om hon är fri. Som om hon vore en verklig, gammal vän.« Valerie Kyeyune Backström i E...

Teeskentelemättömällä tavalla ylellinen, vastustamaton kirjoittaja. Susan SontagLoistelias -- Lucy tekee selväksi, että Ms. Kincaid on sekä Brontën ja Woolfin tytär että oma jäljittelemätön itsensä. Wall Street JournalLucy, teini-ikäinen tyttö Länsi-Intian saaristosta saapuu Pohjois-Amerikkaan au pairiksi hyvin toimeentulevaan perheeseen. Lewis ja Mariah ovat komea pari, rikkaita, näköjään onnellisia. Mutta hyvin nopeasti tarkkanäköinen Lucy huomaa perheen kulissien rakoilevan. Vuoroin vihaten ja vuoroin myötätuntoisesti Lucy tarkastelee valkoisen perheen todellisuutta suhteessa taakseen jättämänsä synnyinmaan todellisuuteen. Lucy ei suhtaudu omaan menneisyyteensä nostalgisesti, mutta ei myöskään suostu nyky-ympäristönsä petkuttamaksi. Samaan aikaan Lucy tutustuu omaan seksuaalisuuteensa, ja vähitellen esiin nousee uusi ihminen: intohimoinen, suora ja totuudellinen.Vuonna 1990 julkaistu Lucy ilmestyy suomeksi ensimmäistä kertaa.
