Of all classical Lao literature, Pha Lak Pha Lam, the Lao Version of the Indian epic the Ramayana, is the most pervasive and influential in the culture. The Indian source first came to Laos with the Hindu Khmer as stone reliefs at Wat Phu Champasak and other Angkor-period temple Oral and written versions may also have been available; eventually, though the Lao developed their own version of the epic, which differs greatly both from the original and from Thailand's Ramakian.
Contemporary literature has been hampered by decades of war ai communist rule. Only in 1999 was the first collection of contempora Lao fiction, Ounthine Bounyavong's Mother's Beloved: Stories from Lai published in a bilingual Lao and English edition. |
