The Last King of Scotland
Foden Giles
Shortly after his
arrival in Uganda, Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan is called to the
scene of a bizarre accident: Idi Amin, careening down a dirt road in his
red Maserati, has run over a cow. When Garrigan tends to Amin, the
dictator, in his obsession for all things Scottish, appoints him as his
personal physician. And so begins a fateful dalliance with the central
African leader whose Emperor Jones-style autocracy would transform into a
reign of terror.
In The Last King of Scotland Foden's
Amin is as ridiculous as he is abhorrent: a grown man who must be burped
like an infant, a self-proclaimed cannibalist who, at the end of his 8
years in power, would be responsible for 300,000 deaths. And as Garrigan
awakens to his patient's baroque barbarism--and his own complicity in
it--we enter a venturesome meditation on conscience, charisma, and the
slow corruption of the human heart. Brilliantly written, comic and
profound, The Last King of Scotland announces a major new talent.
