    About this ebook

    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.

    Pavel Vilikovský

    Pavel Vilikovský (b. 1941) is one of Slovakia’s most distinctive narrative voices and probably the greatest living Slovak writer. Working as literary editor and translator from the English for many years, he published only two books under communism, preferring self- --imposed silence to self---censorship. He made up for this silence with some prolific output since 1989, publishing over a dozen books of essays, collections of short stories and novels. Vilikovský's self---consciously literary, self---referential and witty prose frequently pillories Slovak national myths.

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
