The Blind Assassin opens with these simple, resonant words: "Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge." They are spoken by Iris, whose terse account of her sister's death in 1945 is followed by an inquest report proclaiming the death accidental. But just as the reader expects to settle into Laura?s story, Atwood introduces a novel-within-a-novel. Entitled The Blind Assassin , it is a science fiction story told by two unnamed lovers who meet in dingy backstreet rooms. When we return to Iris, it is through a 1947 newspaper article announcing the discovery of a sailboat carrying the dead body of her husband, a distinguished industrialist. Brilliantly weaving together such seemingly disparate elements, Atwood creates a world of astonishing vision and unforgettable impact.

"The picture is of happiness, the story not. Happiness is a garden walled with glass: there's no way in or out. In paradise there are no stories, because there are no journeys. It's loss and regret and misery and yearning that drive the story forward, along its twisted road."
评分Bleak, poignant, a striking masterpiece. I never knew English writing could be so beautifully done.
评分故事还不错而且重读原文才发现铺垫简直太漂亮,然而毕竟老太太写的东西絮叨死了。
评分这大概是我读过的结构最复杂的小说。也是因为这个结构,所以最核心的谜团一直保留到结尾才揭晓。Atwood在各个时间点和视角转换点间的切换十分平顺,所以才能撑得起这么复杂的结构。

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...

评分很多年以前读到关于《狂恋大提琴》的评论时,只觉得那是不忍卒读的文字。心下还猜想:或者,这是安妮宝贝刻意为之的妖异?及到真将那一张DVD推入笔记本,在一个夏夜的两小时之后,才发现电影本身比那一篇评论要厚重许多,更残酷太多。 妹妹赤裸着身体在树林里遍体鳞伤,哭泣...
