Discussing Antonín Bajaja's novel with Rajendra Chitnis

'Burying the Season' is an affectionate, multi-layered account of small town life in central Europe in the 20th century, just out from Jantar publishing. Listen to Rajendra Chitnis of Bristol University read from his foreword to the book, and tell us how Fellini’s Amarcord and Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons play a role in the lives of the citizens of Zlin, as they navigate through turbulent decades with humour and integrity.
