- Kyi May, congratulations. A struggle in the struggles. With Metta Sayar
Kyi May Kaung Thank you, Saya and Khin Myo - I wrote it long ago, about 1994, when my cousin was still alive. Re-reading it made me remember all the strange Burmese politics my cousins talked about all the time, when I was just a child and coming home from UK, where my father told me on my first day of school that I could ask "the Bobbies" -- the policemen for help if I needed anything. In Burma he bolted the doors carefully at night and told us not to go along with strangers as so many kidnappings of children happened in the 50s. I am glad this story Black Rice is published, as it makes it easier for me to write about Burma in the 50s. Actually, I have written a good deal already, but it all needs more work to be ready for publication, as written on my old Apple computer, in the Rittenhouse Writers Group in Philadelphia.
