Apollinaire Anova

Apollinaire Anova was born in 1929 in New Caledonia and became a priest. As a student at the Institut catholique de Paris, he wrote in 1965, for a licence in social sciences, a dissertation devoted to the Melanesians of his island, which remained unpublished at his death, the following year, at the age of thirty-seven. The publisher of the book that Hamid Mokaddem devoted to him in 2014 presents him as the first Kanak writer in French, the first to have opened a literary space hitherto occupied by European writers.
