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...

评分这本书的叙事结构绝对是读过最精巧的之一,不乏作者对历史对未来的思考,里面穿插的小故事有种科幻的感觉。反正这是今年看过最好的书之一啦!喜欢文学的一定要去看呀:)
评分Prose很棒,也有很多妙语
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.
