Burmese National Literary Awards

       As Zon Pann Pwint reports in The Myanmar Times, in Burma National Literary Awards announced.
       The 'Translation (Aesthetic)' award went to Yekantha Kyataingayec for his translation of Amitav Ghosh's The Glass Palace (which does have a Burmese connection).
       Noteworthy, also: that they didn't award prizes for 'Best Novel' or 'Best Drama' (among a few other categories) -- never a good sign.
