The Irrawaddy Literary Festival – February 1-3 2013

Events in Burma in the last couple of years have been brilliant – and now there’s literary festivals and I’m plugging the Irrawaddy Literary Festival as one of the best events you could probably get along to in 2013. The first ever literary festival in Burma, and it will include some of the best local authors (writing in English) as well as a rich mixture of writers and artists from elsewhere. Here’s their web site with a tentative list of authors and all at the Inya Lake Hotel in Rangoon (below). If you’re planning a trip to Burma next year this might make a nice compliment to your visit.
