Freedom from Fear by Aung San Suu Kyi
3.0
Difficult for me to comment on the political/literary commentary considering how little I know about Burmese politics or literature. Still, the essay on Indian and Burmese literature felt a bit dated. But this was worth reading. I probably liked the personal bits best -- kind of identified with Aung San Suu Kyi in parts!
I was interested by how her political philosophy is so deeply grounded in Buddhism -- not a strand of thinking I'd seen explored properly before, and definitely something I'd like to find out more about.
