Talk stories is a collection of Jamaica Kincaid's original writings for the New Yorker column 'Talk of the Town', her first impressions of New York after her arrival from Antigua. Kincaid found a unique voice, at once in sync with editor William Shawn's tone for the quintessential elite insiders' magazine, and also all her own - wonderingly alive to the ironies and screwball details that characterised her adopted city.
She learns the worlds of publishing and partying, of fashion and popular music, and how to call a cauliflower a crudité. The book also records Kincaid's development as a young writer - the newcomer who sensitively records here her impressions takes root to become one of our most respected authors.
