Zegga-Iyesus Iyasu

Zegga-Iyesus Iyasu is one of the three authors through whom the long narrative appeared in Tigrinya at the turn of the fifties, with Ghebreyesus Hailu and Teklai Zeweldi. Like them, according to Xavier Luffin, he had first tried his hand at journalism and the essay. Mussie Tesfagiorgis dates his book to 1949 or 1950, when the British administered the country; it is placed at the same period as the first Tigrinya novel. Neither dates nor any other book are known for him.
