À propos de l'auteur

He immigrated to the U.S. in 1989. Wong is the author of A Prayer for Burma, a travelogue and memoir about growing up under military rule. His short stories, articles, and essays have appeared in Myanmar Times, Irrawaddy, San Francisco Chronicle, AGNI, and Grain magazines, among others. He discusses, translates, and shares the rich literary tradition of his homeland in his blog. He has contributed Burmese poetry translations to Eleven Eleven and Wolf magazines and is the author of Survival Burmese.
