The Mekong Review is one of the newer contributions to arts and culture coverage in the region.
Founded in November of 2015, the quarterly magazine publishes book reviews, interviews, essays, poetry and more.
There’s a website, but the print edition has a nice design (as you can tell from the recent cover serving as the photo for this post) and is perfect to dip into over coffee, on a plane, at home, or wherever.
The good news for us literary nerds is that it’s going to be available in Yangon for the first time.
Starting next week with the new and third issue, the Mekong Review can be found at Pansodan Gallery and the new Pansuriya Cafe on Bogalay Zay Street.
In the issue, a copy of which costs $3, there are two pieces related to Myanmar and one by Nicholas Farelly, whose columns are familiar to readers of the Myanmar Times.
