Literature of Guinea: October 2022

WeeklyThread

Bismilla readers,

This is our monthly discussion of the literature of the world! Every Wednesday, we'll post a new country or culture for you to recommend literature from, with the caveat that it must have been written by someone from that there (i.e. Shogun by James Clavell is a great book but wouldn't be included in Japanese literature).

October 2 was Independence Day in Guinea and, to celebrate, we're discussing Guinean literature! Please use this thread to discuss your favorite Guinean literature and authors.

If you'd like to read our previous discussions of the literature of the world please visit the literature of the world section of our wiki.

A jaaraama and enjoy!

Guinea is a prominently Muslim country. Notice the ending of the post as well - meaning “thank you”. It’s about respecting the language and culture of the country of the month.
