Kossi Efoui

Josué Kossi Efoui, who signs Kossi Efoui, was born in 1962 in Anfoin, in the Maritime Region of Togo. Holding a master's degree in philosophy from the University of Benin, in Lomé, he took part in the eighties in the student movement that challenged the Eyadéma regime; arrested in August 1990, he left his country for France. Welcomed on a residency at the Maison des auteurs in Limoges, he wrote for the stage, then turned to the novel from 1997. His theatre, with deliberately unspecified settings, was criticised as not African enough.
