β¦ Synopsis
Mr. Potter Γ¨ un tassista analfabeta che vive in una delle isole piΓΉ belle del mondo, un "posto piccolo" incastonato nell'azzurro del mar dei Caraibi. Nasce nel 1922 e la sua vita scorre parallela a quella della sua terra, Antigua, una terra da cui non uscirΓ tutta la vita. Figlio di un modesto pescatore e di una donna che, non riuscendo a sopportare la miseria di un'esistenza soffocante, decide di andare incontro alle onde. Insomma, un uomo qualsiasi. Ma anche il padre di Giamaica Kincaid. Un padre che non concede amore, un padre mai veramente conosciuto, ma solo spiato da lontano.
