520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. In this lively satire of contemporary South Pacific life, we meet a familiar cast of characters: multinational experts, religious fanatics, con men, 'simple' villagers, and corrupt politicians. In writing about this tiny world of flawed personalities, Hau'ofa displays his wit and range of comic resources, amply exercising what one reviewer called his 'gift of seeing absurdity clearly.'
