Abyssinian Chronicles

First edition in English. 8vo. Pp. ix, 462, [3]. Red paper-covered boards with author's monogram blind-stamped to front, titled in black to spine. Dust jacket design by Susan Carroll. Written by Isegawa – a native of Uganda – in English, but first published in 1998 in a Dutch translation as Abessijnse kronieken by Uitgeverij De Bezige Bij, Amsterdam.

Author's first book. A troubled coming-of-age tale set in Uganda during the horrors and excesses of Idi Amin's reign and its chaotic aftermath. "[A] remarkable piece of writing, expertly blending personal testimony and historical information. It is a serious and often shocking literary work, and a necessary corrective to Giles Foden's comic novel about Amin, The Last King of Scotland." –Andrew Biswell, Sunday Telegraph
