The rescue of a literary manuscript results in a war of words over the interpretation of 107 haiku about New York's Central Park. In the battle of commentaries, what is at stake is nothing less than the meaning of America in an imaginary but highly plausible future. Reenvisioning Vladimir Nabokov's Pale Fire for a technologized age, Snow at 5 PM discovers revolutionary uses, and abuses, for literature and history.
