In some literary matters, there is a lack of communication with publishers (or) editors, and there is still work to be done. Recently, I was unable to write a book on “People Outside the Dream,” published by Yun Shwe House Bookstore.

"The Dreamer" is a book that combines the novel "Let It Be a Dream" written in Tara magazine 46 years ago and the novel "The Outsider" published in Kyi Aye's Shuma Wa in 1971. There was a request to write the book, but it was not completed. I was in a hurry when the book was published. I could say that I had lost contact with the publishers and had lost touch. Now, my novel "Walking on Broken Glass" and

The publisher heard about the book, which was published as a compilation of Kyi Aye's "My Wisdom," and I was asked to write it.

Why do I have to write an order?

I often write for books when they are published. There is hardly a book that is not written for, and there are reasons for writing for it. When there is a difference between the time of writing and the time of publication, there is always something to write for. More than 40 or 50 years ago, poets and novelists used to ask me to write for them.

I wrote for them. They were often contemporary poets and novelists. I wondered why they asked me to write for them. It seemed like they wanted to know my feelings about literature. Some of them thought that if I wrote for them, the book would sell well.

Whether a book sells well or not is not up to me. It is up to the original author. The first book I ordered was Man Tin's 'Those Three Years. Man Tin was my schoolmate. I think he asked me to write it because I already knew about his writing. The book "Those Three Years" is a historical and historical book that depicts the Japanese era.

After that order was placed, writers approached me and asked me to place an order.

I don't write for everyone who asks me to write. I don't write for friendship. I only write because I have something to say about their novels and poems in modern Burmese literature. I reject some.

They are usually young people. Some of them are not my friends, but I wrote them after reading their writings and thought they should be written. I have commissioned some young people to write poems and novels, but the poetry book has not been published. The novels have not been published. They have not even come to me to tell me why they have not been published.

I have been fond of writing since before the war. At that time, I often read books by my friends, Thakin Bahein, Thakin Than Tun, and Thakin Soe. Their writings are also good to read. Thakin Than Tun wrote a book called “The World of the Rich” by Thakin Bahein.
