We know a fair bit about Cardassian literature: my own particular favourites are enigma tales: Cardassian mystery stories in which the reader has to figure out not which of the characters is guilty, but exactly what each character is guilty of. Very Catholic.
The Never Ending Sacrifice is an example of the repetitive epic, in which plot elements and themes repeat themselves. In TNES, seven generations of a Cardassian family all live selfless lives of devotion to the state. Garak loved it, Bashir thought it was boring :-)

Cardassians have speculative fiction too: Meditations on a Crimson Shadow is about a future war with the Klingons.
Bet you're sorry you asked! ;-)
