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.
