These two stories were written during two visits, one to Neuchatel,
Switzerland and the other to Florence, Italy. In both stories,
Mikdadi tries to make sense of events around him and to create some
order out of perceived chaos. He does so with gentle satire and the
occasional fury. Snowflake has received considerable critical
praise for its dream like quality and for its gentle and zany
humour. The narrator arrives at his stepmother's home in Neuchatel
and, through a stream of consciousness narration, he alternates
between the present and his unhappy past and his failed marriage.
He links his current observations with his sad experiences and
desperately tries to make some sense of his seemingly empty life
and his Diaspora existence.
