ABSTRACT

This novella is based on the author’s childhood memories and interweaves the lives of three generations of women. The scenery and architecture consist of a landscape of snow, and the novella makes use of a snow angel as a textual and visual practice to make inquiries into geographical space, place, and academia. It explores the interrelationship between the social and symbolic formations of class, gender, and whiteness and life changes from rural farming life to academic life.
