Chad has produced several important writers. The tales of Joseph Brahim Seid, including Au Tchad sous les étoiles (1962) and the autobiographical Un enfant du Tchad (1967) are Chadian classics. Baba Moustapha, who died in 1982 at the age of 30, left several notable works, one of which, Le Commandant Chaka (published posthumously in 1983), denounces military dictatorships. Poetry is a popular form of expression in the north.
