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.
阅读盲刺客不仅仅需要充分的智力,旺盛的体力(长达624页), 还要有一颗能体察同情女性的心。不幸的是,尽管我勉强达到了前两个要求却在最后一环上有所缺失。这样半个月折腾下来,我完成的只能是一次失败的阅读。 谈到女性作家大多会套用细腻温柔之类的形容词,却似乎很...
評分看了玛.阿特伍德的《盲刺客》,我觉得看完这个真的是一件十分值得纪念的事情。毕竟某人长这么大以来,完整看完的两部外国长篇小说除了《蝴蝶梦》就是这个了…… 我记得我看《怪物》的时候,因为很喜欢这部漫画于是曾想过要把里面的人物都给写一篇文章,当然这计划最后在某人...

評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...

评分英文原版
评分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
评分一上來就猜到瞭來龍去脈,全程翻白眼
评分精彩!今年最佳!
