Which Pokemon games represent Generation VIII in the Pokemon universe? All this puts in the round Butler’s one autobiographical overview of the Balkan years, given in his Introduction to the first volume. In fact, disguised as an Englishman, Butler appears in this novel, BLACK LAMB, GREY FALCON, now a bible for Balkan no-nothings. Equally, it may have been from a Yugoslav friend, or friends, that Butler gleaned further curiosity about the region, after some initial contact with Serbs and Croats at Oxford. Zagreb seems to have been his main base during the three years. True to proto-Beat form, he appears to have been on the road for a good deal of the three years. As with the work, so with the life; once again Butler seems a step or two ahead of us, and those who might have wanted to draw more out of them have been wrong-footed by death. Two days later the king’s body arrived from Split, where it had been shipped from Marseilles, on its way to Belgrade. In the days before the Iron Curtain to be foreign was, at the start, an asset, and when I arrived in some town of Bosnia or Macedonia I was made to feel welcome.

The day we arrived in Zagreb, 9 October 1934, news had just come that King Alexander, a Serb, had, with Bathou the French Foreign Minister, been assassinated in Marseilles by agents of the Croat separatist leader, Pavelitch. Sometime in 1934, Butler obtained a travelling scholarship for Yugoslavia from the School of Slavonic Studies in London; it was this that helped fund the three years. Three years after I returned from Russia I went to teach in Zagreb in the Anglo-American-Yugoslav Society. The Malaysian flag is subject to the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act 1963; any act that insults the flag such as waving the flag upside down can be punished with a maximum fine of RM20,000 or a maximum imprisonment of three years or both. Whereas his literary reputation is no longer in danger of vanishing into the Lethe of oblivion, much of the bare outline of his life in those years has. Incidentally, Joyce lived in Trieste, then a part of Austria-Hungary, when it was as much a Slav city as an Italian one; and he often uses bits of Italo-Slovene dialect in his letters. Moreover, tote bags wholesle then as now, the field of Slavonic studies is a small one, and through some such contact he may have come across the travelling scholarship.

Coming round in the van back in the village Nate is aghast by what they have done. When I was in Yugoslavia over a dozen years ago I had a travelling scholarship which enabled me to go round the country. The adjective in “travelling scholarship” turns out to be a significant clue to Butler’s time in the country. I am afraid such a loss is now partly the case with Butler’s time in the Balkans. He crops up in several essays and was the source of Butler’s account of Mr. Pfeffer, the judge at the trial of the Sarajevo assassins. An earlier Belgrade letter reads: “Gertrude has now discovered her name is Stern and that she has an Aryan nose and is dreadfully worried about this, and I’m afraid won’t last.” Back in Dubrovnik he runs into Rebecca West and husband, and tosses off this classic: “They were motoring via Mostar and Sarajevo to Belgrade and so they took me out of Orasac and had some wine with me on the way. The experience is recounted in “The Last Izmirenje” (1947), a parable about an order of justice that took forgiveness instead of punishment as the true atonement for crime.

A gifted linguist, Butler took up Russian sometime in the twenties; by the end of the decade he was fluent enough to begin translating Leonid Leonov’s bulky novel, THE THIEF, and Chekhov’s play The Cherry Orchard. In fact, Butler is one of a distinguished line of Irish writers – such as Shaw, Joyce, Beckett, Aidan Higgins, Harry Clifton – whose sense of Irishness has been shaped by long periods of foreign residence, and so inflected by a cosmopolitanism that eludes, in part, the insular categories. In fact, it protects us in many instances by priming the body to react quickly to adverse situations. In fact, they’re facing such intense mental health issues – spurred on by the pandemic but also predating it – that the U.S. An example of this would be an optometrist who specializes in eye health. There was usually a little club presided over by someone who had travelled abroad, and I was entertained…
