La Grande Rentrée Littéraire De Kinshasa 2025 will be held in DR Congo’s capital from September 18 – 20, 2025.
The rentrée littéraire is a practice adopted by French publishers, characterised by a large number of new book releases (all styles and genres mixed together), and takes place every year between late August and early November. The majority of literary accolades are also awarded during this period. The Kinshasa version of the Rentrée Littéraire organised by Wallonia-Brussels Center is a literary shindig which brings together authors, publishers, distributors, booksellers, printers, librarians, and readers in several stands. Writers and editors take the opportunity to publicize the problems they face to discuss them and find solutions.
The 2025 edition, the ninth, runs this September with the theme “Women’s Voices, Echoes of Resilience: When Literature Builds Peace!” On the agenda is a book market, debates, workshops, slam poetry, and the Zamenga Prize ceremony, featuring Congolese and international authors, including Belgian writer Fabienne Zutterman.
