He sets out to become a Ugandan fighter pilot, training in an academy in Greece. When the 1971 Idi Amin coup in his homeland disrupts his plans, he defects and becomes a man on the run. In this extraordinary novel based on his own father's fate, Anyuru evokes P's struggles in gorgeous, vivid prose. As a refugee, military-camp prisoner, and exile, P never gives up hope and continues to dream of life as a pilot. In a story told across two generations, P searches for identity and purpose in a world in which nowhere is home." -- $c Amazon.com. 546 $a Translated from the Swedish. 648 7 $a 1971-1979 $2 fast 650 0 $a Fighter pilots $z Uganda $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Defectors $z Uganda $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Defectors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00889593 650 7 $a Fighter pilots. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00923988 651 0 $a Uganda $x History $y 1971-1979 $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Uganda. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210282 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Willson-Broyles, Rachel, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015158.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC8BDCA4586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
