Jamaica Kincaid Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: b. May 25, 1949
Birthday: May 25
If I describe a person's physical appearance in my writing, which I often do, especially in fiction, I never say someone is "black" or "white." I may describe the color of their skin - black eyes, beige skin, blue eyes, dark skin, etc. But I'm not talking about race.
