Literature of Chad

Chadian literature has suffered greatly from the turmoil which has engulfed the country, economical and political. As with many cultures, literature in Chad began with folk tales and legends.

Chadian literature is more prevalent in France than in Chad itself, due to market demand and the repressive culture present in Chad.

Chad's only literary critic, Ahmat Taboye, wrote "Anthologie de la littérature tchadienne" in 2003 to spread knowledge of Chadian literature. Though there are not very many well-known Chadian writers, there are a few, including Joseph Brahim Seïd, Baba Moustapha, Antoine Bangui and Koulsy Lamko.
