Winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize, a lyrical meditation on family, place, and inheritance Names for Light traverses time and memory to weigh three generations of a family’s history against a painful inheritance of postcolonial violence and racism. In spare, lyric paragraphs framed by white space, Thirii Myo Kyaw Myint explores home, belonging, and identity by revisiting the cities in which her parents and grandparents lived. As she makes inquiries into their stories, she intertwines oral narratives with the official and mythic histories of Myanmar. But while her family’s stories move into the present, her own story—that of a writer seeking to understand who she is—moves into the past, until both converge at the end of the book. Born in Myanmar and raised in Bangkok and San Jose, Myint finds that she does not have typical memories of arriving in the United States; instead, she is haunted by what she cannot remember. By the silences lingering around what is spoken. By a chain of deaths in her family line, especially that of her older brother as a child. For Myint, absence is felt as strongly as presence. And, as she comes to understand, naming those absences, finding words for the unsaid, means discovering how those who have come before have shaped her life. Names for Light is a moving chronicle of the passage of time, of the long shadow of colonialism, and of a writer coming into her own as she reckons with her family’s legacy.

One quiet evening as I was watching TV with my family, I received a vision that explained to me the need for our children to have a meaning associated with their name. I received this as an assignment to complete for my contribution to humanity. Throughout biblical history, it has been important that names have a meaning, so I had to be obedient and gather as many names as I could that were created, unique or different. I received inner inspiration to write this book, so I had to go within to receive the correct inspirational meaning for each name presented. This assignment has become bigger than I expected because there are so many created, unique and different names given to our children each day. This will be an ongoing assignment for me and I accept the challenge. I am thankful for the vision, the responsibility and the guidance to put this book together and make it available to you. There will be more books with more names and meanings and I know the meanings presented will bless and inspire each and every individual who reads these books as they have blessed and inspired me.
