Andres Montero: Red Riding Hood kills the wolf without the hunter's help in the original version of the fairy tale

The article features an interview with the Chilean writer Andrés Montero, discussing his new fairy tale adaptation titled 'The Red Cap kills the wolf without the hunter’s help.' The piece explores themes of censorship, the preservation of collective wisdom, and the magical elements embedded in everyday life. It reflects on how oral storytelling traditions have been constrained by linguistic regulation and emphasizes the importance of maintaining these narratives. The story follows Don Herónimo, who returns to his isolated island to uncover stories shared by locals, which expand the boundaries of the island and strengthen community bonds. These stories include tales of souls sold to the devil, ghost towns, treasure hidden in the sea, and more relatable accounts of pandemics, difficult family relationships, and losses. The narrative questions whether Don Herónimo can restore his relationship with the people he has become estranged from.
