Led by Aung San Suu Kyi, the landmark event features dozens of local and international writers
Article Page
Another big first for Myanmar this weekend -- from February 1-3, Yangon is hosting the inaugural�Irrawaddy Literary Festival, which will feature sessions by local and international writers.�
As recently as 2010, this event never would have been possible due to tight visa restrictions and the fact the festival's patron, Aung San Suu Kyi, was still under house arrest.�
