The Taiga Syndrome

Autor Cristina Rivera Garza Traducere de Suzanne Jill Levine, Aviva Kana
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2018
Fairy tale meets detective drama in this David Lynch-like novel by a writer Jonathan Lethem calls one of Mexico's greatest...we are just barely beginning to catch up to what she has to offer. Fiction. Latinx Studies. Women's Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Suzanne Jill Levine and Aviva Kana. A fairy tale run amok, THE TAIGA SYNDROME follows an unnamed female Ex-Detective as she searches for a couple who has fled to the far reaches of the earth. A betrayed husband is convinced by a brief telegram that his second ex-wife wants him to track her down�that she wants to be found. He hires the Ex-Detective, who sets out with a translator into a snowy, hostile forest where strange things happen and translation betrays both sense and one's senses. Tales of Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood haunt the Ex-Detective's quest, though the lessons of her journey are more experiential than moral: that just as love can fly away, sometimes unloving flies away as well. That sometimes leaving everything behind is the only thing left to do.
