Publisher's text: "The quiet lives of two secret lovers collide with the chaos of President Idi Amin's 1972 expulsion of South Asians from Uganda. A capricious and cruel president persecuting a minority... sound familiar? But no, Sitting on Fire isn't set in Trump's America, but rather Uganda in the early 1970s. Printed in Joburg on Risograph, Xander Beattie's poignant and lyrically observed short story is inspired by all-too-real events and offers a devastating reminder of the personal consequences of political insanity."
