Following the success of Black Sci-Fi Short Stories comes a
powerful new addition to the Flame Tree short story collections:
the first peoples in Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas, the
first migration, the first exploration, the discovery of land and
landscape without the footprint of humankind. Stories of injustice
sit with memories of hope and wonder, dreamtime tales of creation
and joy highlight the enduring spirit of humanity. These stories,
selected from submissions by new writers and cast alongside ancient
stories and oral traditions from around the world bring new
perspectives to the legacy of First Nations, of First Peoples.
Flame Tree Gothic Fantasy, Classic Stories and Epic Tales
collections bring together the entire range of myth, folklore and
modern short fiction. Highlighting the roots of suspense,
supernatural, science fiction and mystery stories, the books in
Flame Tree Collections series are beautifully presented, perfect as
a gift and offer a lifetime of reading pleasure.
A Clear Dawn - the first-ever anthology of Asian New Zealand
writing - presents an extraordinary new wave of creative talent.
With roots stretching from Indonesia to Japan, from China to the
Philippines to the Indian subcontinent, the authors in this
anthology range from high school students to retirees, from recent
immigrants to writers whose families have lived in New Zealand for
generations. Some of the writers - including Gregory Kan, Sharon
Lam, Rose Lu and Chris Tse - have published books; some, like
Mustaq Missouri, Aiwa Pooamorn and Gemishka Chetty, are better
known for their work in theatre and performance. While for many, A
Clear Dawn is their first-ever print publication. The 75 writers
explore the full range of human experience: from the rituals of
food and family to sexual politics; from issues around displacement
and identity to teen suicide and revenge attacks; from political
chicanery to social activism to childhood misadventures. Funerals,
affairs, accidents, friendships, crimes, jealousy, small victories,
devastating losses, transcendent moments: all are here. With its
diverse voices, styles and points of view, A Clear Dawn maps a new
literature of Aotearoa New Zealand.
