Reseña del libro "The Taiga Syndrome (en Inglés)"

A Lynchian noir from one of Mexico s best novelists an Ex-Detective tracks a missing couple in a ravaged no-man s-land A fairy tale run amok, The Taiga Syndrome follows an unnamed 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 into a territory overrun with the primitive excesses of capitalism accumulation and expulsion, corruption and cruelty 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. Already published to acclaim in Spanish and in English in the USA, The Taiga Syndrome is an atmospheric and musical tale to be read in a single sitting and a puzzling masterpiece that rewards many readings.
