The book weaves four Samoan concepts; fa’alavelave (trouble), fiapoto (‘smart alec’), fa’amatala or matala (to open/explain) and faitatala (to gossip) to discuss 'An Anthem of Hope', a show that Tu’u made at the Physics Room in October 2013. Tu'u has penned notes to the reader on the shapes cut out of the die-cut covers. Each copy has been added to by the artist, with drawings and strike-outs; and each book is a one-off.
