We have more books available by this author!. 195 pp. "Jamaica Kincaid's first obsession the island of Antigua comes vibrantly to life under the gaze of Mr. Potter an illiterate taxi chauffeur who makes his living along the wide open roads that pass 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. 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.
