Talk Stories
ISBN: 9783311100539 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Schon kurz nach ihrem Umzug von Antigua nach New York unternimmt Jamaica Kincaid erste Schreibversuche, bleibt in der literarischen Welt vorerst aber ein Nobody. Bis sie 1974 den Herausgeber des New Yorker trifft: William Shawn zeigt sich begeistert von ihren Texten und stellt sie ein. Kincaids eigenwillig-originellen Beiträge erscheinen fortan in der »Talk of the Town«-Kolumne. Mal legt sie als Story einfach die Spesenabrechnung vor, ein andermal tippt sie ein aufgeschnapptes Gespräch über Sting ab, statt eine Konzertkritik zu schreiben. Und auch die Absurditäten des Verlagswesens... Schon kurz nach ihrem Umzug von Antigua nach New York unternimmt Jamaica Kincaid erste Schreibversuche, bleibt in der literarischen Welt vorerst ab... |
