		In essence, Wendt's experiments with language is an attempt to show the tensions and issues involved in language use in the postcolony; a concern he has in common with many postcolonial writers.
		With such a forward, Wendt is not only demonstrating his characteristic playfulness but also highlighting the degree to which fiction is the imaginative assembly and rendering of various bits of tales told before, life experiences of the author, and the reinterpretations of historical events into a whole.
		Wendt deals most explicitly with these issues in his essay "Towards a New Oceania" (1996 [1982]) in which he rejects the position espoused by some indigenous elites in the Pacific (and elsewhere) that there should be a conscious return to a pre-contact past and a "traditional culture" untainted by Western influence.

	Echos du Commonwealth: Albert Wendt 2
		Albert Wendt's power resides in his ability to fashion a fictitious universe which appears credible as a documentary and yet whose logic is sometimes radically questioned by deeper levels of meaning which the narrative explores in an entirely original manner.
		Wendt mentions the importance of alofa, the bond of love which was supposed to be the cement of the community only to suggest that it has become an empty concept, a ghost which entrepreneurial chiefs conjure up whenever they try to confiscate the mechanisms of traditional society for their own benefits.
		Wendt invites the reader to draw a parallel between this situation and the fate of the mythic ancestor who was defeated by a similar irony: Pepesa had a favourite daughter called Sina whom he loved inordinately.

	Echos du Commonwealth : Albert Wendt 1
		According to Albert Wendt, the artist is a person isolated from his fellow-men by his unique but multifarious vision of life which is incompatible with the faa-samoa in that it rejects the collective acceptance of its rigid, structuring hierarchy.
		Albert Wendt is fascinated by circular figures which seem to express his preoccupation with isolation, aspiration, perfection and exclusion - all unattainable in their absolute state.
		Wendt frequently invests his hope in the future, in youth, in the angry young man whose anger is as hot and purifying as the sun.
