Kincaid

Kincaid is one of this country’s finest living writers, if not this country’s best living writer.

Born in Antigua, Kincaid was sent to New York by her mother to work as a servant, and Kincaid never looked back, making herself into a writer.

The author of five novels, a collection of short stories, numerous works of nonfiction on gardening and the astounding pseudo-memoir “My Brother,” Kincaid is now publishing a collection of her essays from her early days at the New Yorker to the present.

The subtitle says it all: “Writing 1974 –.” We need that dash; we need Kincaid.

Johansson’s character, Zora Bennett, is a covert operations expert tasked with guiding the group through its mission, and she works closely with Ali’s character, team leader Duncan Kincaid.
