Every avalanche starts with a delicate snowflake.  The narrator of this novella records his wife’s gradual loss of memory while reminiscing on their common past and musing on avalanches, birthmarks, names and how they relate to personality, on body and soul as well as bilabial consonants in the language of the indigenous Menominee of North America... In this, perhaps his best-loved work, Vilikovský combines a light narrative touch with a unique dissection of the subtlest shades of the human soul, a melancholy humour and, above all, a genuine mastery of the literary craft. Â
