Wendt Young reports
A quick update about Pacific
literary great - Albert Wendt.
I've been assisting my uncle with making some of
his books available in electronic format and we're excited to announce that his
first book, 'Sons for the Return Home' has just been released on Amazon.com.
Soon, 'Leaves of the Banyan Tree' will also be released in e-format. This has
come about because as I speak in schools in different communities, many young
people are expressing their surprise at meeting a Samoan author. "We've
never heard of a Samoan writer before..." I find this quite sad.
I strongly believe that everyone needs to read stories about them, for
them and written by someone like them.
By making Albert's classic books readily
accessible and affordable, we hope that new generations of Pacific people
worldwide, can better discover their cultural and literary heritage. It's an
honor and a privilege for me to help take these books into the digital era.
I think that every Samoan, everywhere needs to read this book. (Actually
every Pacific person, everwhere needs to read this book) - and now you can.
This is the book that started it all for Pacific literature. This is the book
that shook up the literary world, got made into a film, shocked many of our
parents, caused controversy, and launched a writing career of awesomeness. You
can get your digital copy now from Amazon for $7.99 at the following link:
