Comment left on Irrawaddy site - ref Burmese writer Ma Thida

I am very privileged to have seen her outside Burma, once for about 45 minutes at Baltimore Penn Station,and to be distantly related to her -- However, I wish her books and articles and short stories were more widely available - inside and outside Burma. I read with interest her translations of Japanese writer Noriko's recollections of Daw Suu and Daw Than E Fend.
