"Oilei Bomboki wakes one morning with a pain in his ... His wife can't help him, nor can the village policeman. Not even Bulbul Bohut knows the remedy when his best friend is stabbed from behind. Oilei Bomboki will try anything. But to try everything takes more than faith ... By turns savage and screamingly funny, Epeli Hau'ofa weaves an excruciating tale of improbabilities round the seat of the last great taboo."
I picked this up at the used bookstore today.

Epeli Hau'ofa is from Papua New Guinea and Tonga.

Taken from Soffita1's Oceania and Islands bookbox. Thank you!
One long fart joke, and not even a particularly funny one. Or it might be a searing satire on both conventional and alternative medicine; you never know. But it took an awfully long time to say not very much.
