A fine copy in dust jacket, first American editon in English of the author's first book. Written by Isegawa, a native of Uganda, in English but first published in Dutch translation in The Netherlands, where Isegawa now resides.his young African man's odyssey, from a small rural community to the city of Kampala and then across the borders of Uganda, introduces a powerful and humorous new literary voice-"precious few first novels are as phantasmagoric or as haunting as this one." (Time) Moses Isegawa's tale is centered on the coming-of-age of Mugezi, a charming and quick-witted young man who manages to make it through the hellish reign of Idi Amin and experiences the most crushing aspects of Ugandan society. He withstands his father's oppression, his mother's cruelty in the name of Catholic zeal, and the murder of his grandmother by those in power in the unraveling country. Yet he is miraculously able to keep a hopeful and even occasionally bemused outlook on his life-one that mirrors the postcolonial African experience.". Book Condition: Fine as New.
