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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's title refers to its recurring central motif, an avalanche whose inexorable descent cannot be stopped once the critical mass of snow has begun to roll, echoing the unstoppable process of memory loss. Five themes or storylines, intertwined in passages of varying lengths, are labelled with letters of the alphabet and numbers in a playful allusion to scholarly works and musical compositions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pavel Vilikovský\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 190823637X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908236371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Istros Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Pavel Vilikovský","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44201958899967,"sku":"9781908236371","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29e49381-9e19-4a48-a18c-d48ff5a9c401.jpg?v=1691492413","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fleeting-snow-pavel-vilikovsk-9781908236371","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
