Novel She was a Queen -- by Maurice Collis finally cleared by Burmese junta censors --

http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=4752

It was translated into Burmese by the late Mya Than Tint --

still remains a beautiful story.

When NLD Daw San San came to DC to testify before Congress in c. 2003, she asked me for a copy.

It was also a favorite of my friend Burmese dissident the late Taw Myo Myint, who was herself from the last royal family of Burma.

Kyi May Kaung.

This reviewer in Slate likes latest Murakami novel--the walled city--the walled garden.
