Industry reviews
"...Jamaica Kincaid scrutinizes various particles of our world so closely and so solemnly that they begin to take on a nearly mystical importance."
New Republic - Anne Tyler (12/31/1983)

"Reading 'At the Bottom of the River', one feels drawn into an oddly futuristic sensibility, a literary equivalent of Rock video in which technical adroitness in manipulating an image and sensuous pleasure in what can be done with it rather preclude questions about why."
New York Times Book Review - Edith Milton (01/15/1984)

"Jamaica Kincaid is an unaffectedly sumptuous, irresistible writer--and among these splendid stories about personal and cosmic desire, at least two of them...seem to me more thrilling than any prose I've read by a writer from this continent."
Book Jacket - Susan Sontag 

"This book will hum on your shelf. It is too choked with love to incite envy, too humble for admiration, and still too startling to escape astonishment."
Book Jacket - Derek Walcott
