PACIFIC WRITERS SERIES

These four titles are the first in the new PACIFIC WRITERS SERIES published by Heinemann Reed. The majority of the series will be first novels, but the series will also include short story collections and new editions of titles already in print.

THE FRIGATE BIRD
Alister [sic: Alistair] Campbell
Set partly in the Cook Islands, partly in a New Zealand psychiatric hospital and partly within the confines of the narrator's mind, THE FRIGATE BIRD is about a search — for love sanity and the innocence of childhood.
"THE FRIGATE BIRD is a fabulous blend of Cook Island and papa'a ways of seeing. It is a map that only Alistair Campbell — with his unique imagination as a poet and visionary traveller through Pacific cultures — could have drawn." Albert Wendt

EARTHLY DELIGHTS
Nick Hyde
Michael Jones was an artist; now he paints houses. Greta Wolfsy was a famous actress; now she is undergoing "treatment". When Michael meets Greta in small-town New Zealand he is shaken from the comfortable vacuum his life has become and forced to confront the ghosts of his past.
EARTHLY DELIGHTS is Nick Hyde's first novel.

VISITORS
John Cranna
Disturbing tales of sexuality, madness and death, the stories in this collection are narrated by observers who teeter on the edge of terrible secrets.
With chilling understatement and effortless control over a variety of styles; John Cranna spirits the reader from a work gang in the Kaimai Ranges, to the slums of Samoa, to a Waikato dairy farm.
John Cranna has won several New Zealand and International awards for his short stories.
