Richard "Ricky" Potter is a brilliant young composer, according to Teddy Berg, and a minor character in the 1969 novel Real People by Alison Lurie. He's come to Illyria, a artists' retreat in New England.
JANET: He looks like a nice boy.
TEDDY: Oh he is, very. And he's got possibilities as a musician, you know. A real melodic gift. He's written some interesting things already. Harmonically he's still rather tight; a bit theoretical, you know. Overcautious technically. It's his costive Middle Western WASP background- well I needn't tell you about that. But it's always seemed to me that a passionate affair might do him a lot of good. Anyhow, I have great hopes for him.
