The Potter

Barry has lived his whole life in Bathurst. He is a potter, but his degenerative neurological disorder means he is becoming more and more frustrated and forgetful. His wife Terrie is also frustrated and develops a plan to leave Barry and move out with her lover, Bruno. Barry finds support through his friendship with Tony and Jay, and her daughter, Nettie, and is comforted by loving memories of his first wife, Molly. As he embarks on an emotional odyssey, the potter confronts his loss of memory and his changing world with resilience, love, and friendship to aid him. The narrative at the core of the potter's story invites readers to contemplate the delicate interplay of courage, compassion, and the enduring power of the human spirit as he experiences challenges in the face of betrayal, physical change and memory loss, and the eventual interplay of couple of bumbling bank robbers.
