Éste no es un cuento de hadas, detective -interrumpió otra vez-. Ésta es una historia de amor.
De desamor -lo corregí a mi vez.
Una ex detective vuelve, después de mucho tiempo y bastantes fracasos, a aceptar un caso: encontrar y traer de vuelta a una
mujer que abandonó a su marido
para huir con otro hombre hacia el interior de la taiga. Este marido traicionado está convencido, por un breve telegrama que recibió, que en realidad su segunda ex esposa quiere que él la encuentre. La ahora escritora de novelas negras contrata a un traductor para que se internen en ese bosque donde cosas extrañas suceden, donde la
realidad se distorsiona
y donde la traducción misma comienza a traicionar el sentido del lenguaje y de los sentidos.
Se dice que la gente que vive en la taiga
se vuelve loca por la desesperación
de huir de ahí. La taiga es monotonía y soledad, un territorio invadido por los primitivos excesos del capitalismo (acumulación y expulsión, corrupción y crueldad), aunque las lecciones de su viaje serán más vivenciales que morales: así como el amor puede volar, el desamor también. A veces dejar todo atrás es lo único que queda por hacer, porque
¿hay algo que de verdad exista para siempre?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“This isn’t a fairy tale, detective,” he interrupted again. “This is a story about love.”
“About indifference,” I corrected in turn.
An ex-detective returns, after a long time and many failures, to take on a case: find and bring back a woman who abandoned her husband to flee with another man into the taiga. This betrayed husband is convinced—thanks to a brief telegram he received—that in reality his second ex-wife
wants
to be found.
The crime writer has hired a translator to live in the forest with her, where strange things happen, where reality becomes distorted, and where translation itself starts to betray the meaning of language and the senses. They say that the people who live in the taiga go crazy from the desperation to leave. The taiga is monotony and loneliness, a territory invaded by the primitive excesses of capitalism (accumulation and expulsion, corruption and cruelty), although the lessons of her journey will be more about survival than morals: just like love can fly, so can indifference. Sometimes leaving everything behind is the only thing left to do, because… does anything ever really last forever?
