問題詳情:
Award-winning novelist Jamaica Kincaid is talking with Time about her new book See Now Then.
Your new book, See Now Then, features a Caribbean writer whose husband is a composer and who lives in the Northeast with two kids. Sounds like you. How autobiographical(自傳的)is it?
36 But I wasn't thinking of myself. My own self, my own everyday life, is sort of very untidy and smelly and kind of annoying under close observation.
What do you mean, untidy and smelly?
I like to be in my pajamas(睡衣)all day. Sometimes I don't wash for days because I like to read and sit around. 37 I'm not fun to be with.
There's less in this book about slavery and race than in some of your previous work. 38
Race is not particularly interesting to me. Power is. Slavery interests me because it's against humanity and has not stopped. It's necessary to talk about that.
So it's not interesting to you that the most powerful man in America is black ?
Not really. As I say, race is not important to me. The first time I saw Barack Obama, he gave a wonderful speech. But what made me really like him is that his wife came out and she was darker than he is. 39
You went to the U.S. to be a maid. What do you think today when you see maids from the West Indies?
That they probably are not as lucky as I was. I've been extremely lucky my entire life. And I've never said no to any kindness. 40
A. I like to eat in bed.
B. I've always taken it and said thank you.
C. Are you still interested in those topics?
D. A lot of events in the book would seem to parallel my own life.
E. Has your husband read this seemingly autobiographical novel?
F. When you find someone you hate a lot, you should really look at it.
G. It's so rare to see a black man married to a woman who is darker than he is.
