Books about ... Burma

       In The Guardian they have Rory MacLean's top 10 books on Burma; shockingly, not a one is a work of fiction by a Burmese author (no Maurice Collis, for example, either). Several are, however under review at the complete review:

• The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh
• Burmese Chronicles by Guy Delisle
• The River of Lost Footsteps by Thant Myint-U

       Meanwhile, in The Myanmar Times Douglas Long finds A potent reminder of the bad old days, as he reminds readers of Andrew Marshall's The Trouser People.

       See also the Index of Burmese Literature and Burma (Myanmar)-related Books at the complete review -- not that there's that much more there.
