François-Borgia Marie Evembé

François-Borgia Marie Evembé, who later took the name Evemba Njoku'a'Vembe, was born in Kribi, in southern Cameroon. His family gave him these first names at baptism to thank heaven for an intercession that had made his birth possible. He attended the Catholic mission school in Kribi, then the Collège Libermann in Douala, and kept from this training an ambivalent attitude towards the Church. After his novel, he published a collection of poems in 1967, then in 1983, in Yaoundé, a collection of short narratives.
