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.
Margaret Atwood was born in 1939 in Ottawa and grew up in northern Ontario, Quebec, and Toronto. She received her undergraduate degree from Victoria College at the University of Toronto and her master's degree from Radcliffe College.

Atwood's dystopic novel, Oryx and Crake, was published in 2003. The Tent (mini-fictions) and Moral Disorder (short stories) both appeared in 2006. Her most recent volume of poetry, The Door, was published in 2007.

"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."
評分Atwood is a bit too refined, but still good sad intimate story.
評分其實真相已經猜得差不多,可是沒有猜到iris跟alex james... 讀到最後就剩下傷感...
評分終於憋啊憋啊看完瞭
評分翻過來看第二遍的時候纔發現,各種隱綫在書中書的開頭早已布下,真是設計精妙
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...
評分一般看来,如果译者的笔力够用,并明了原文作者最为看重的就是作品的开篇,它的第一节、第一个句子的话,并在这里同样下过功夫的话,那么这译者应该还算不错。 原文第一段为五句,最后两句是: Chunks of the bridge fell on top of it.Nothing much was left of her but c...
評分不知道为什么,看完一本跟自己有点特殊缘分的书总是觉得要写下点什么才算是完结。其实这个有缘,也没有看上去那么玄乎,它大致可以解释为我喜欢的,或者是认识很久,一直打算要看,可是却因为种种原因一直没看的书。或许还有一种是我们遇见的方式比较特别。总之,《盲刺客》就...
評分如果没记错,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...
