Translated by David Short Foreword by Rajendra Chitins Burying the
Season is an affectionate, multi-layered account of small town life
in central Europe beginning in the early 1930s and ending in the
21st Century. Adapting scenes from Fellini's Amarcord, Bajaja's
meandering narrative weaves humour, tragedy and historical events
into a series of compelling nostalgic anecdotes. The ex-King of
Bulgaria, a future president with the unfortunate name Goose,
strange visitors and eccentric locals are just a few of the
peculiar, but very human, characters drawn by the author
experiencing the wonder and disillusionment of their everyday
lives. Zlin, Bajaja's hometown, with its Bauhaus inspired
architecture, built by its major employer Bata Shoes, feature
prominently. Friends and family walk, skate, swim, quarrel, love
and fall into the local river Drevnice; disappearing and
re-appearing, surviving changing times while their children play
Swallows and Amazons. As an essay in remembering, it offers hope.
