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.
如果没记错,艾丽丝和劳拉都是金发碧眼,Blonde,这是个刺眼的字母,胸也是B,亚历克斯的故事里的姑娘也是个金发的B。我也记得blonde在英文里的言外之义,“你的头发金黄金黄的,太惹眼了。金发女郎就像是小白鼠;小白鼠只能关在笼子里。它们在自然界的生命不长。它们太引人注...
评分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...
评分叙述的方式往往可以决定许多事情。比如说当艾丽斯写了一整本回忆录,却刻意地略掉了她和亚历克斯之间发生的一切,突然可以让人明白和他在一起的时间在她心中的位置。即使那是因为这大概是她乏善可陈的人生中唯一值得回忆的地方。 就这样一点埋藏在她心里的故事,甚至没有十年时...
评分主人公“我”在垂暮之年记录下自己的一生,以及那本以Laura 的名义出版的名叫《盲刺客》的小说,这本小说讲述了“他”和“她”幽会的故事,而盲刺客和哑女的故事是在幽会期间“他”讲给“她”的。 现实中的“我”为了父亲挽救父亲的工厂嫁给了中年企业家Richard(可以穿插报纸...
评分作者:Adam Mars-Jones 译自英国《观察家报》The Observer 玛格丽特•阿特伍德的小说新作由三条线索组成。艾丽丝•蔡斯的回忆录追溯了她的成长过程:从繁荣之始——钮扣厂业主之女、与富豪的无爱婚姻,及至孤独、耽于冥想的老年。 其次是《盲刺客》的节录:艾丽丝的...
伴着二月巴塞罗那难得的狂风和巨浪,在去往小村庄里朋友的country house的路途上坐在David的后排车座上看完了。其实是个没什么特别的俗套故事,环环相套的结构却也有趣,且margaret的文字也美。
评分封面应该用他们三个人的照片的

评分finished at this very moment! 首先,书的情节十分引人入胜,好几次我都忍不住要继续看下去(我是计划好每天看几章的),再说主题,其实Atwood的野心似乎很大,书中想说的主题很多:性别,新旧阶级,政治,战争,种族,衰老,城市与乡村等等都浓缩在Iris和Laura家族历史以及她们自己的故事。 Laura和Iris更像是一个人物的两面,一个material, more traditional, tend to conform to the rules; 另一位spiritual, more radical, always in the process of breaking conventions. 期待拍成电视剧的那一天
评分借给了隔壁宿舍的肌肉男...现在很想要回来(微笑)
