Tcheuyap, Alexie. De l’écrit à l’écran. [From Writing to the Screen] Ottawa, ON: University of Ottawa Press / Les Presses de l’Université d’Ottawa, 2004. https://doi.org/10.14375/np.9782760305809.

De l’écrit à l’écran is the first book that focuses on the question of cinematic rewriting of the French-speaking African novel. It shows the creativity of the cinematic text compared to the literary one. It formulates innovating conclusions compared to purely speculative, thematic or ideologic questions on “adaptation”, an act of recreation and rewriting whose mechanisms go beyond African cinemas.
