The Taiga Syndrome by Cristina Rivera Garza, Suzanne Jill Levine (translator), Aviva Kana (translator)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.8MB
Overview: 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.
