More about the book
This is the fifth in a series of short fiction from around the world, and the first collection of contemporary short fiction in the English language from the South Pacific. It offers examples of writing from the Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Papua-New Guinea and Tonga, together with work from the longer-established Anglophone literature of New Zealand. The New Zealand writers are thus seen unusually in a Pacific context rather than as part of the European diaspora, while Island writers are displayed on a wider stage than has been offered them before.
