One of the
beauties of African literature is that all the countries have a number of
talented writers who produce tantalising works on a regular basis. Colin Diyen
for one is a talented writer from Cameroon who has published many works.
His works
generally attest to his versatility and fecund bent. In The Earth, Mungongon and the
dwarf revolt, the author re-creates an alternative, bustling world with
King Awobua an intriguing personality.
On the other
hand, in a work like Husband Consultant,
Monsieur Diyen rather dishes out amusing, pensive reflections touching on
male-female relationships, and idiosyncracies.
Colin Diyen
studied in Moscow at the Patrice Lumumba People's University, sequel to
attending St Joseph College Sasse (Buea) and CCAST Bambili. Then he began to write
- and write.
