A message from the Center for the Humanities: We regret to inform you that Jamaica Kincaid is unable to travel to UW-Madison due to illness. The Humanities Without Boundaries event scheduled for 7:30 PM on Monday, April 8 is cancelled. Please accept our sincere apologies for the last-minute notice of this to everyone who was planning to attend the event.

The Antiguan fiction writer, memoirist and essayist visits UW as a part of the Center for the Humanities’ “Humanities Without Boundaries” speaker series. A former staff writer at The New Yorker and current professor of African and African American Studies in Residence at Harvard, Kincaid has written 12 books. Critics, including Susan Sontag, have noted Kincaid’s emotional truthfulness and unique cadence. She’s in town for the annual Great World Texts conference for Wisconsin high school students.
