Abstract

The first volume in a new series publishing Francophone writers of the Pacific in English, The Kanak Apple Season presents the short fiction of Dewe Gorode, the leading Kanak author of New Caledonia. This remarkable collection reflects the ethnic complexities of the colonial past of New Caledonia. The author's approach to language reveals an original voice that compels attention. Drawing on the heritage of blood-lines, family, cultural tradition and colonialism, Gorode takes her reader on a journey into the Kanak world providing fascinating insight into the culture of one of Australia's nearest- yet least known- neighbours.
