A detective and her translator search for a missing woman through a frozen, wooded landscape in Cristina Rivera Garza's The Taiga Syndrome.
Although the plot sounds pretty straightforward, it is rife with magic and allegory and allusion to fairy tales, specifically Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood.
This slender novel packs a dreamlike punch. Recommended for readers of literature in translation.
I checked this out from the New Castle-Henry County Public Library in New Castle, Indiana and read it quickly.
