Can you believe that Jamaica Kincaid has a chapter in this book, Humor Me, ed. by Ian Frazier?
Her participation in this book could be explained by the long time friendship with the editor, Ian Frazier. She worked with him during her years at The New Yorker.
Check out the NPR review where Michael Schuab highlights Kincaid's piece:

I'm going to check out a copy at Borders' Library, soon.
