It functions as a subtle message about what it means to witness horror to such a degree that we lose our language for it; it is a quiet story about coming of age, suddenly, as a young black girl because of what the world shows us. It is about the many words our silence can hold, the way our absences can ring as loudly and discordantly as the words we do feel able to say.” —\u003ci\u003eLiterary Hub\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree girls—Pam, Bess, and Sue—attend a party to celebrate the publication of the first of the Nancy Drew mystery books. There are many distractions at the fancy affair: flower arrangements, partygoers, refreshments, and lots and lots of marble. Suddenly, the oldest girl, Pam, sees what can only be described as something truly . . . bilious . . . not good! Bess sees it too. The youngest, Sue, does not, and as usual she has a hard time getting anyone to tell her anything. \u003ci\u003eParty: A Mystery\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautifully drawn adventure story that promises questions that will grab children, but does not guarantee an answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJAMAICA KINCAID\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and professor whose works include the novels \u003ci\u003eAnnie John, Lucy, The Autobiography of My Mother, and Mr. Potter; \u003c\/i\u003ea classic history of Antigua\u003ci\u003e, A Small Place;\u003c\/i\u003e and a memoir, \u003ci\u003eMy Brother.\u003c\/i\u003e The Josephine Olp Weeks Chair and Professor of African and African American Studies in Residence at Harvard University, Kincaid was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2004.
