Overview

Learning to study the novel helps us to refine and extend our reading experiences, and it allows us to turn the experience of reading into knowledge and self- knowledge through ordered and rational discussion.' Blamires H. (1991). In this vein, our studying experience shows that Rwanda has a poor documentation in terms of publication of literary works such as novels, poetry, plays and short stories. This is why lecturers prefer using those of the rest of the world. Students on their hand become bored of such an experience. Reading culture therefore is not encouraged and sometimes students hate reading other people's works rather than their own. Rwandan historical background has shaped the illiteracy and did not foster creativity in fiction. Both Belgian and German colonial systems did not care about the production of writings. At that time, only few people could access formal education whose curriculum could not meet the needs of the society. Though some famous writers like KAGAME Alex, RUGAMBA Cyprien and upcoming GASIMBA Francois have struggled to move Rwandan literature from the peripheral position to the canon, there is still a gap to touch the audience.
