Fleeting Snow

Autor Pavel Vilikovský
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2018
Fleeting Snow depicts the gradual loss of memory of the narrator's wife. The narrator reminisces about his past life with his wife and muses on issues ranging from human nature and the soul, to names and the phonetics of Slovak and indigenous American Indian languages, in an informal, humorous style whose lightness of touch belies the seriousness of his themes. The title refers to its recurring central motif, an avalanche thatt cannot be stopped once the critical mass of snow has begun to roll, echoing the unstoppable process of memory loss.

Notă biografică

One of the most important Eastern European writers of the post-Communist era, Pavel Vilikovský began his career in 1965, but the political content of his writing and its straightforward treatment of such taboo topics as bisexuality kept him from publishing the works collected here until after the Velvet Revolution. In 1997 he won the Vilenica Award for Central European literature. Julia Sherwood is a freelance translator, mainly for salon.eu.sk. She lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
