Out of the Vaipe, the deadwater : a writer's early life
Wendt, Albert
Series: BWN texts
Notes
On cover: We are what we remember or want to remember.Summary: Returning to his boyhood in the Vaipe, a suburb of Apia in Samoa, sees Wendt confront elemental questions: Is the Vaipe he has created in his stories, poetry and novels really the Vaipe that existed and exists in real life? Or is it real only in his books? Is there a difference between the two? And does it matter? The responses form a vivid narrative that draws on a life of award-winning writing, and returns full circle to the symbolic world of the Deadwater. (Publisher's website)
