The work weaves together elements of realism and introspection, focusing on the human condition and existential themes. The opening portions introduce a range of characters, including the protagonist who reflects on familial legacy and personal identity against the backdrop of a snowy urban landscape. The beginning of the collection introduces the narrator's family history, starting with the imposing figure of his grandfather, a miner who discovered new metals, and then his father, a charismatic speaker involved in significant political changes. As the present moment unfolds, the protagonist grapples with feelings of ennui and alienation in the city, punctuated by interactions with strangers and memories of the past. The imagery of falling snow serves as a poignant metaphor for the weight of personal and collective memory, while also evoking a deeper existential contemplation of life's cyclical nature.
