COLIN DIYEN (Cameroon)





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.
