The New Disease Frederick Bobor James

"The New Disease" sets out to present the dilemma of a young man, Bondawaa, who wants to use western education to develop the young generation of his extended family into "a forest of giant tress." Without developing himself into a giant tree first, Bondawaa finds his task herculean to accomplish. However, the spirit of his granddad, which is the driving force behind his dream, continues to remind him of this mammoth task again and again, especially when he senses that Bondawaa is being distracted.
