The Wreck
Author(s): Déwé Gorodé
Translated and with a critical introduction by Deborah Walker-Morrison and Raylene Ramsay. Young Léna's quest is to gain an awarehness of a repressed childhood trauma.
It is, she says, like the excitement of a detective sensing he's about to uncover the clue that will open the gates of truth. "Naked, cruel, indecent - whatever. I must have the truth. And I will track it down until it blows up in my face." Set against the fight for independence in New Caledonia, The Wreck is the first Kanak novel and a turblent examination of inter-generational abuse.
