Summary
Ivana Šojat: I dreamed of snow
A novel about family, sadness, death, life after life, love, delusions, friendship. A book of great theme and narrative silence, a book that excites and calms, evokes sympathy and brings purification. I dreamed of snow is an extremely intimate and emotional story about dealing with death, grief and memories. The main narrator observes the loss of his mother and later the silent suffering of his father, while simultaneously struggling with his own guilt, insecurity and the question of the meaning of life. In a series of pictures, from the funeral procession, recalling her mother's stories, her cheerfulness despite her illness, to scenes from her childhood, Ivana Šojat strongly, poetically and sincerely weaves a narrative, not offering consolation with pathos, but by expressing what is experienced in the encounter with the loss of a loved one and images of memories of moments spent together. Especially impressive are the descriptions of the intimacy in the house after the mother's departure, the father who breaks down, the son who searches for her voice in his dreams, small details (the smell of lotion, the sound of brandy, old photographs) that suddenly become the carriers of an entire life, while the border between the dialogue between life and death becomes thin, almost invisible. The novel closes the circle of grieving, acceptance and continuing life, but without the illusion that the pain will disappear and the colors will fade, reminding how fragile family relationships can be, how difficult it is to cope with the burden of parting. At a time when emotions are often hidden and repressed, I dreamed of snow restores their dignity by opening space for conversation.
