Fijillery - A small group of sexually transmitted diseases only contractible through sexual congress with prostitutes living in the Fiji Islands.

Fijillery: Dancing With Fire is an incendiary anthology of post-colonial Fijian writing. It paints a vivid, diverse, and Fijian picture of Fiji while pulling no punches as to its often igneously violent social and political past and present.

Excerpt:

Detainee II
(for Som Prakash)

That night my vague jailers left a mattress
Sweating faeces, I slept on philosphy.
Twelve days and I share my inquisitor's
Myopia, his U-smile and rhetoric
A 40-watt gourd perspires inside my den,
Modestly pendulous, inviolatable,
Almost the moon. My mind's tungsten is burnt.
At breakfast I yearn for the snap and jerk
Of the cold Sten. This is the fatal catch,
This is the Black Roulette. One surreal night
Whispers gnawed outside my grilled crate. I cried:
'Is this the witching hour, tell me - Shiva,
Great God, I'll waltz widdershins round thy church.'
Conspiratorial sniggers assembled
With the new light. Lieutenant Pio Chara,
Studiously urbane, arrived with portmanteau
Queries and uriny tea. 'Mr Prakash,
You are a Security Risk, a threat
To the Republic, Publicly recant
All you have said of our Savior, our State.
Ogres, in urban legends, overtax the hero
At the level crossing. That, my friend, is the fatal catch.

On a side note, perhaps we should agree on a time limit for these?
