This video shows an interesting adaptation/interpretation of Jamaica Kincaid's Girl. (The narrator of the video reads the text of the piece in its entirety.)
Here is the full text of the contemporary literature piece: http://www.fphil.uniba.sk/fileadmin/user_upload/editors/kaa/Ivan_Lacko/Kincaid_Girl.pdf
Some things I think are interesting to consider:
- That the narrator is male.
- That the setting is in a cold, snowy area.
- That the heads of the characters are almost always cut off.
One of my students let me know about a really interesting take on the piece. Here's a link to Bret Johnston's reinterpretation, "Boy." What do you think about this interpretation? How does it measure up to yours?
