The second annual Samoa Observer Tusitala Short Story Competition in 2016, also attracted some outstanding entries. These original stories are set around the Pacific - in American Samoa, Australia, Fiji, Hawaii, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Samoa, with one even further afield. 'Stories of superstition and courage, migration and old age, tales set in the past, present, and future. While the plots are diverse, many have the same underlying message: we need our family and each other, said an early reviewer of the collection.'
This second publication of the best stories from 2016 is entitled, Only the Word Survives.
