Editorial Reviews

Of certain interest to enthusiasts of Kristeva's work and those interested in French intellectual culture, this tale is part detective story, part philosophical fable which takes place in the mythical, post-industrial landscape of Santa Varvara in Eastern Europe. When mysterious wolves descend on the town and people begin to disappear, one lone individual attempts to warn the town of the ominous reality and is dismissed by everyone except a young journalist whose detective work turns into a provocative personal journey.
