<p><b>‘Controlled and fearless perfection’ - <i>The Washington Post</i></b><br><br>Jamaica Kincaid's brother Devon Drew died of AIDS on 19 January 1996, at the age of thirty-three. This incantatory, poetic, and often shockingly frank recounting of her brother's life and death is also the story of her family on the island of Antigua, a constellation centered on her powerful, sometimes threatening mother. <i>My Brother</i> is an unblinking record of a life that ended too early, and it speaks volumes about the difficult truths at the heart of all families.<br><br><b><i>My Brother</i> was a 1997 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.<br><br>Now part of the Picador Collection</b></p>
