Seongha Choii asked Pramudith D. Rupasinghe:

Bayan, is a part of Inspirational Realism series ? How does Bayan contributes to the movement ?

Pramudith D. Rupasinghe For the first part of your question, the answer is 'Yes'. Its a part of the movement.
Answering to the secound part of your question, I would say that Bayan is one of the most contributing semi-fictions to the the movement. The whole idea of Bayan is to boost positivity in elderly population who are into reading. Life of Ivan Nikolaevich is all about coping with challenges of the age and finding a meaning in his life at the later part of life.

This excerpt would add some clarity your question..


‘To my silent companion,
Rest with me in Summer, the old papers!
Accompany me in autumn into wet fields,
through the humid air; but do not breath it, it's sickening.
Warm my soul in icy winter with your intoxicating words, and, let me submerge deep in thoughts in the ocean of philosophy,
inebriated wholly with sous-marine depictions,
then I will see the realities left secretively for centuries, mummified in the obscure seabed called life,
When nature rejuvenates back in Spring,
when symphonists start adding melodies to my Bayan,
I will give you a break, probably retirement’.
— Ivan Nikolaevich’.
