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.

评分第三章 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...
评分 评分 评分那是一个慵懒而疲惫的周末上午,我躺在床上把它翻到最后一页。一个字一个字念出来,直到自己哽咽不能。我承认自己有借题发挥的嫌疑,眼泪不过凭借任何借口跑出来而已。但那种心情——一直到最后,你把密码留给风,还是等不到你所希冀的人来眷顾。在这一点上,不是你不想,而是...
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。
评分借给了隔壁宿舍的肌肉男...现在很想要回来(微笑)
评分精彩!今年最佳!
评分Beautiful, delicate, contained, and powerful.
评分How to understand the dead is by paper written and metaphors and hints one's knowledge covered. To remember is to show respect. When you telling the story, the dead must be your collaborator with her deplorable destiny and clandestine thinking supported like Laura. Uncontrollable Laura is the rebellious icon for freedom and independent spirit.
