Laura Chase's older sister Iris, married at eighteen to a politically prominent industrialist but now poor and eighty-two, is living in Port Ticonderoga, a town dominated by their once-prosperous family before the First War. While coping with her unreliable body, Iris reflects on her far from exemplary life, in particular the events surrounding her sister's tragic death. Chief among these was the publication of The Blind Assassin, a novel which earned the dead Laura Chase not only notoriety but also a devoted cult following. Sexually explicit for its time, The Blind Assassin describes a risky affair in the turbulent thirties between a wealthy young woman and a man on the run. During their secret meetings in rented rooms, the lovers concoct a pulp fantasy set on Planet Zycron. As the invented story twists through love and sacrifice and betrayal, so does the real one; while events in both move closer to war and catastrophe. By turns lyrical, outrageous, formidable, compelling and funny, this is a novel filled with deep humour and dark drama.

booker的这个奖很有趣,很英国,当诺贝尔越来越奥斯卡化的时候,它还保持着纯朴的疯癫精神。通过收集近些年的booker奖作品之后,发现这是个旨在奖励有趣但是无聊小说的奖项,类似中国的故事会吧。情节有趣,意义无聊或者根本就没意义。盲刺客是2000年的获奖作品,时年作者已六...

这是个隐晦的世界。文字提供解读方式——让世界如花瓣层层打开,或者用犀利的刀锋割开。 玛•阿特伍徳提供的方式,是两者的合一。《盲刺客》既温软又坚硬。她轻巧地将不同意象组合在一起,突兀又贴切。箭就在弦上,张力无处不在。 故事套故事的结构,是一种高...

不知道为什么,看完一本跟自己有点特殊缘分的书总是觉得要写下点什么才算是完结。其实这个有缘,也没有看上去那么玄乎,它大致可以解释为我喜欢的,或者是认识很久,一直打算要看,可是却因为种种原因一直没看的书。或许还有一种是我们遇见的方式比较特别。总之,《盲刺客》就...

第三章 阿维隆庄园 P73 阿黛莉娅的任务是为宴会配菜订菜,然后还要提防被人瞧见自己在大吃大喝。按当时的习俗,妇女在公众场合只能斯文地小口慢吃,而大嚼大咽的动作是十分粗俗的。我猜想,宴会过后她一定叫人把一盘子食物送到她的房间去。她十指并用,大吃一顿。 P77 “疼...

Beautiful, delicate, contained, and powerful.

finished at this very moment! 首先,書的情節十分引人入勝,好幾次我都忍不住要繼續看下去(我是計劃好每天看幾章的),再說主題,其實Atwood的野心似乎很大,書中想說的主題很多:性彆,新舊階級,政治,戰爭,種族,衰老,城市與鄉村等等都濃縮在Iris和Laura傢族曆史以及她們自己的故事。 Laura和Iris更像是一個人物的兩麵,一個material, more traditional, tend to conform to the rules; 另一位spiritual, more radical, always in the process of breaking conventions. 期待拍成電視劇的那一天
