<p><b>Winner of the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay </b><br><br> <i>My ignorance was on my side. I wasn't afraid. I didn't know what to be afraid of. I did one thing, I did another. I did what I now call crashing about. One day I started to write.</i> <br><br>This collection of Jamaica Kincaid's nonfiction writing, including early pieces from publications such as <i>The New Yorker</i>, <i>The Village Voice</i>, and <i>Ms.</i>, proves what her admirers have always known: from the start, she has been a consummate stylist, and she has always been herself. <br><br>From "Jamaica Kincaid's New York," which narrates her move to the city from Antigua at the age of sixteen and a half, to the classic "Biography of a Dress," her cultural criticism, and her original thinking about the meaning of the garden, Kincaid writes about the world as she finds it, imparting her own quizzical, rapier-sharp response to whatever crosses her path. <br><br><i>Putting Myself Together </i>is a brilliant, trenchant, hilarious self-portrait of the artist and a testament to how this inimitable, self-created mind and spirit, endowed with wit, humor, and fearlessness, has become one of our greatest, most original writers.</p>
