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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dorothy, a publishing project","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743361675416,"sku":"1741423","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91_oSNNh5yL_1fa2ffa6-8b5c-4109-adba-f589529bd9a3.jpg?v=1771981505","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/taiga-syndrome-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
