Iraqi literature is, and has been, deeply marked by Iraq s political history. In the late 1970s, a period of economic upturn, prominent writers in Iraq were provided with an apartment and car by Saddam Hussein s government, and were guaranteed at least one publication per year. In exchange, literature was expected to express and galvanise support for the ruling Ba ath Party . The Iran Iraq War 1980 1988 fuelled a demand for patriotic literature, but also pushed a number of writers into opting for exile. According to Najem Wali , during this period, e ven those who chose to quit writing saw themselves forced to write something that did not rile the dictator, because even silence was considered a crime. From the late 1980s onwards, Iraqi exile literature developed with writers whose rejection of dominant ideology and whose resistance to the wars in Iraq compelled them to formulate a brutally raw Realism arts realism characterized by a shocking sense of modernity N. Wali . Late 20th century Iraqi literature has been marked by writers such as Saadi Youssef , Fadhil Al Azzawi , Mushin Al Ramli , Salah Al Hamdani , and Sherko Fatah .

Thailand s national epic is a version of the Ramayana called the Ramakien . A number of versions of the epic were lost in the destruction of Ayutthaya city Ayutthaya in 1767. Three versions currently exist one of these was prepared under the supervision and partly written by King Rama I . His son, Buddha Loetla Nabhalai Rama II , rewrote some parts for Thai dance Khon khon drama. The main differences from the original are an extended role for the monkey god Hanuman and the addition of a happy ending . The most important poet in Thai literature was Sunthorn Phu , who is best known for his romantic adventure story Phra Aphai Mani and nine travel pieces called Nirat s . Kings Rama V and Rama VI were also writers, mainly of non fiction works as part of their programme to combine Western world Western knowledge with traditional Thai culture. 20th century Thai writers have tended to produce light fiction rather than literature for a burgeoning literature market. But increasingly, individual writers are being recognized for producing more serious works, including writers like Kukrit Pramoj , Kulap Saipradit , penname Siburapha , Botan , and others. Some of the their works have been translated into English. The Isan region of Thailand has produced two notably sociocritical writers in Khamsing Srinawk and Pira Sudham . Notably, Pira Sudham writes in English. Thailand has had a wealth of expatriate writers in the 20th century as well. The Bangkok Writers Group is currently publishing fiction by Indian author G.Y.
