The aim of this paper is to outline a critical reflection regarding the relationship between writing and orality in Lusophone African Literatures, taking as starting point the literary work of Mia Couto and counterpointing it with the literary project of other authors form Lusophone African Literatures. The reflection developed aims at underlining the plurality of critical and aesthetic understandings that define the relationship between the oral and the written, the conceptual constellations and the critical developments that the tension between writing and orality determines for the emergence of theoretical frameworks within the field of African Literary criticism.
