The sun shines squarely overhead the ocean lies on every side and suppressed passion fills the air. Misery infects the unstudied slow pace of this island and of Mr. Potter's days. As Kincaid's narrative unfolds in linked vignettes his story becomes the story of a vital crippled community. Kincaid strings together a moving picture of Mr. Potter's ancestors -- beginning with memories of his father a poor fisherman and his mother who committed suicide -- and the outside world that presses in on his life in the form of his Lebanese employer and later a couple fleeing World War II. Within these surroundings Mr. Potter struggles to live at ease: to purchase a car to have girlfriends to shake off the encumbrance of his daughters -- one of whom will return to Antigua after he dies and will tell his story with equal measures of distance and sympathy. In Mr. Potter her most luminous ambitious work to date Kincaid breathes life into a figure unlike any in contemporary fiction an individual consciousness emerging gloriously out of an unexamined life.

You have always been so kind to me with your words of support and I appreciate it greatly. Your life sounds wonderful. I wish it were mine except for where you play golf. I would just sit under a tree. Allen and I have two children now and we are very grateful to them. Perhaps too much so; at 2 and 6 they treat us the way children used to be treated with almost contempt and almost disapproval. It was of course how we wished to treat our own parents but instead of parents we had Gods! I miss the New Yorker too."
