‘Poetic and affecting’ - Robert Antoni, The Washington Post
The island of Antigua comes vibrantly to life under the gaze of Mr. Potter, an
illiterate taxi chauffeur who makes his living along the roads that pass through
the only towns he has ever seen and the graveyard where he will be buried. The
sun shines squarely overhead, the ocean lies on every side, and suppressed
passion fills the air. Ignoring the legacy of his father, a poor fisherman, and
his mother, who took her own life, Mr. Potter struggles to live at ease amid his
surroundings: to purchase a car, to have girlfriends, and to shake off the
encumbrance of his daughters.
In Mr. Potter, Kincaid breathes life into a figure unlike any other in
contemporary fiction, an individual consciousness emerging gloriously out of an
unexamined life.
