Memoirs of a Reluctant Traveller
About the book
A poetry collection by a Fiji-born writer considers travel and cultural inheritance.
Discover the world.
One book at a time.
Fiji has no single literary voice: iTaukei and Rotuman traditions sit alongside Indo-Fijian experience. The Fantasy Eaters opens a short-story route, while The Wounded Sea approaches political tensions through autobiographical fiction. Moving Through the Streets offers urban fiction, and Sudesh Mishra brings poetry of travel and inheritance. Last Virgin in Paradise is a book-length play co-written by Rotuman author Vilsoni Hereniko and Teresia Teaiwa, whose cultural connections also included Kiribati.
