Description:
A brilliant and profoundly illuminating portrait of the contemporary, postcolonial African experience. Against the backdrop of Idi Amin's reign and its chaotic aftermath, this is the story of Mugezi's troubled coming-of-age: his constant struggle with his harsh mother and austere father and his years spent as caregiver to their ever-growing family; his sojourn in a horrifically repressive Catholic seminary. After going to work as a high school teacher, he becomes enmeshed in a tragic romance, finds himself drawn to a dubious alliance with the military after Amin's fall. Finally sickened by personal loss and national tragedy, he manages to immigrate to Amsterdam.
