Robert Zotoumbat

Died in 2017

Robert Zotoumbat was born on 19 September 1944 in Mékambo, in north-eastern Gabon. An English teacher, he made his career in Protestant education, where he later held administrative posts, rising to head the secondary level. This narrative, published when he was twenty-seven, remains his only book published in his lifetime. He died on 22 April 2017 in Libreville; two years later, Gabonese academics and public figures paid tribute to him in a collective volume.
