Uzodinwa Iweala's Beasts of No Nation -- about child soldiers --

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/24/books/24iwea.html


Amazing book of 120 pages, I read it during one Chiangmai trip.

Chiangmai is in Thailand.

I have never been to Africa, but like the movies Blood Diamond, Invictus, Cry the Beloved Country etc. this speaks to me.

Kyi May Kaung

Much to read from the Atlantic--incld--Friday Night Massacre.
