Title: Stuck in Snow
Review: "Snow" started as promising, but gradually became boring and redundant. The story follows Ka, an alienated Turkish poet returning to his home town of Kars. The same dialogue exchanges are repeated over and over between the modern, Turkish poet and the provincial Turkish fundamentalist moslems of small town Kars. The fundamentalists are idealized as generous and pure of heart. At the point Ka, the protagonist reads his poem named "Snow" to a woman and literally asks her six times if she thinks it is beautiful, and six times she responds that it is very beautiful. The alienated intellectual Ka's spiritual quest to get in touch with his cultural and religious identity is agonizingly boring.
