Publisher's Synopsis
Tumach and Heezfar the two characters in the play He's Far
too Much idle away awaiting hand outs from well wishers.
Instead of engaging in meaningful activities to eke out a
living, they waste time conjuring riches in their minds. At one
point they panic about their predicament and in another they
reassure themselves that all will be well. Unable to overcome
the misery resulting from their purposeless lives, they sleep
walk to their own death.
He's Far too Much is a beautifully rendered translation of the
play Amezidi by Said Mohammed that depicts vividly the
dependency syndrome that has stalled growth and development in the developing world. The translators have incorporated song and play in the dialogue to produce a
translation that is not only interesting to read, but also
exciting to perform.
