RANDOM NOTES

Left Over from November: Joan Givner’s Katherine Anne Porter: A Life (Simon & Schuster, $19.95) looks to be an excellent and important literary biography of an overrated but interesting writer.

Last December Titles: Tony Avirgan and Martha Honey, the authors of War in Uganda: Idi Amin and His Legacy (Lawrence Hill, $16.95; paper $9.95), are two journalists who, having covered the politics of Tanzania for six years, accompanied Tanzanian troops into Uganda in 1979 in an invasion that ended by bringing down Amin.
