Praised on both sides of the Atlantic as well as in the author’s native Uganda, Moses Isegawa’s first novel Abyssinian Chronicles was a “big, transcendently ambitious book” (Boston Globe) that “blasts open the tidy borders of the conventional novel and redraws the literary map to reveal a whole new world” (Elle).

In Snakepit, Isegawa returns to the surreal, brutalizing landscapes of his homeland during the time of dictator Idi Amin, when interlocking webs of emotional cruelty kept tyrants gratified and servants cooperative, a land where no one–not husbands or wives, parents or lovers–is ever safe from the implacable desires of men in power.

Hajime Jozuka is a practicing psychiatrist and president of the psychiatric clinic and stress institute that he founded He is a published author, lecturer, researcher, inventor and musician. And he has been a life long activist for the rights of psychiatric patients. Now, at age 62, Dr. Jozuka looks back from this distinguished career, and he remembers his first experience as a young psychiatrist in a psychiatric hospital. In this extraordinary memoir of those early days, Jozuka reveals the inside workings, dynamics and politics of such a place. He speaks with a voice grown wiser with time and experience, and his narrative is full of both humor and sadness, both hope and despair. “In short,” writes Jozuka, “our patients could not feel human. They had forgotten—if they ever knew—what it means to be a human being.”.
