Gabonese literature in the mirror of its criticism

Dealing with issues related to the critical reception of Gabonese literature at the university level is a study that would allow us not only to make the trial of this minor literature, because it is very young, recent and sometimes unknown to the general public, but also to understand the scientific issues if not to conduct a theoretical study while making a meta-discursive analysis of the authors who seem to emerge in the "Gabonese literary field", try as well as they can, to pull this literature up. For this first attempt, we have directed our study on Divassa and Bessora; two Gabonese authors who represent validly this literature on the local and international level. From the outset, in sociology of literature, the studies of reception allow us theoretically to focus on the figure of the reader sometimes forgotten or even set aside when it comes to "reading" a literary text and appreciate its literality.
