New Book Soon
From Albert
Western Samoan writer Albert Wendt, whose novel Sons for the Return Home has met with great success, will have another book out soon, and his work will also appear in a collection of poetry.
His new book is called Flying Fox in a Freedom Tree and comprises eight short stories and a novella, all on Samoan themes. It is to be pub lished by Longmans Green, who will also publish Ten Modern New Zea land Poets, which will contain some of Wendt’s poems.
Longmans Green published Sons for the Return Home, the first edition of which was sold before it got on to the bookstalls. The second edition has been selling briskly, and a UK edition will be published in London in July.
