I Am Too Many People: Peter Turrini : Playwright, Poet, Essayist (Studies in Austrian Literature, Culture, and Thought)

With his plays translated into twenty languages and performed worldwide, Peter Turrini -- playwright, poet, essayist, political activist, and cultural critic -- has become a permanent fixture on the Austrian and international drama scene. -- Taking Turrini's passion for the theater as a starting point, most of the essays collected in this volume deal with the 'playwright' of Turrini's many personae; several others examine his forays into other genres (poetry, essay, television plays). The book is framed by an interview with the author and an insight into his creative workshop by his assistant.
