Moments in Melanesia is a collection of short stories written by Melanesian writers. The book aims to encourage students to enjoy reading, to learn about the world around them and to gain a better understanding of the value of literature.
Written from various perspectives and in different and contrasting styles, the writers deal with a wide range of social and personal issues - marriage, adolescence, isolation, revenge and crime.
It is hoped that by bringing these stories before a new, large, young audience, these stories will help foster the writing of more stories from Melanesia - stories that deal with Melanesian realities and dreams and give voice to more Melanesian moments.
