This piercing examination of the manifold ways in which the passing of time operates on the human consciousness unfolds gracefully, and Kincaid inhabits each of her characters--a mother, a father, and their two children, living in a small village in New England--as they move, in their own minds, between the present, the past, and the future: for, as she writes, \"the present will be now then and the past is now then and the future will be a now then.\" Her characters, constrained by the world, despair in their domestic situations. But their minds wander, trying to make linear sense of what is, in fact, nonlinear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSee Now Then\u003c\/i\u003e is Kincaid's attempt to make clear what is unclear, and to make unclear what we assumed was clear: that is, the beginning, the middle, and the end. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver the past forty years of her career, Kincaid has demonstrated a unique talent for seeing beyond and through the surface of things. In \u003ci\u003eSee Now Then\u003c\/i\u003e, she envelops the reader in a world that is both familiar and startling--creating her most emotionally and thematically daring work yet.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJamaica Kincaid\u003c\/b\u003e was born in St. John's, Antigua.
