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.

Balla is often described as "the Slovak Kafka" for his depictions of the absurd and the mundane. In the Name of the Father features a nameless narrator reflecting on his life, looking for someone else to blame for his failed relationship with his parents and two sons, his serial adultery and his wife's descent into madness.

International diplomacy has stopped working. A new breed of authoritarian ruler has emerged, contemptuous of the rules of diplomacy and collective security, and willing to lie and bully to build power and influence. Europe's democracies are confused and defensive. It is 1938 and Germany is putting pressure on Czechoslovakia.

A noble misfit investigates a powerful party figure in 1950s Czechoslovakia. His struggle against blackmail and betrayal leaves him determined to succeed where others have failed. Set in Stalinist Central Europe, GraveLarks is an intellectual thriller navigating the ambiguity between sado-masochism, black humour, political satire, murder and hope.

A novel of quest, in which the heroine abandons the material world of everyday society and linear history, and journeys in search of her true identity.

Through playful poetic prose, Daniela Hodrova shares her unique perception of Prague, imaginatively blending historical and cultural motifs with autobiographical moments.
