Vā Stories by Women of the Moana edited by Lani Wendt Young, 2021

In this book you will travel across oceans and meet diverse and deep characters in over 50 rich stories from Cook Island, Chamorro, Erub Island (Torres Strait), Fijian, Hawaiian, Māori, Ni-Vanuatu, Papua New Guinean, Rotuman, Samoan and Tongan writers.

@bookstodon






Stories that tell covid how we REALLY feel, where a Centipede God watches on with wry humour and wrath, where a sexy Samoan goes on a hot Tinder date in Honolulu, where a New Zealand doctor is horrified to be stuck at her cousin's kava drink up in Fiji, where Moana people travel the stars and navigate planets, stories where Ancestors and Atua live and breathe. Stories that defy colonial boundaries, and draw on the storytelling and oratory that is our inheritance. Immerse yourself in the intrigue, fantasy, humour and magic of beautiful strong stories by 38 writers from across the Moana.

    The photo is of a coffee counter on which is the pink paperback book with a painting in the center of oranges in a clear plastic sack against a white background. Above it is a packaged donut. To the right is a white mug of machine brewed black coffee with the creme still visible. The mug says Beck's Coffee Shop. Across the way you can see a man looking at his smartphone, his face cut off from view
