Detective story wrapped in a fairy tale. Dreamy and spooky.

Originally written in Spanish, The Taiga syndrome is a classic noir detective story. A female detective is hired by a husband to find his wife who eloped with another man to Taiga. Taiga is a place which is kind of underbelly of society. It is also said that people catch a syndrome that causes them to go mad in a desire to leave the place but are unable to do so.
There was a lot of parts in the story which were not clear, kind of hazy dream like situations. It was confusing but the writing style is poetic and sensory-based. Most bizarre reading experience.
Happy Reading!!!

Complex story about getting lost in a story, about translation, about, pain and the obliteration of the self. I understood like a third of it, it’s great.

I have no thoughts. I simply don't understand. At first I thought it was interesting and liked the writing style, but the second half.... I'm so confused
