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.
玛格丽特•阿特伍德的《盲刺客》足有600多页,在小说已经简约化和快餐化的今天,显得有些冗长。对于19世纪的人来说,小说是主要的消遣方式之一,人们也没有电视看,可以秉烛夜读;不用上班,一个冬天不出门,就可以围着火炉捧着大部头消磨时间,所以出现像《战争与和平》那样...
评分这是个隐晦的世界。文字提供解读方式——让世界如花瓣层层打开,或者用犀利的刀锋割开。 玛•阿特伍徳提供的方式,是两者的合一。《盲刺客》既温软又坚硬。她轻巧地将不同意象组合在一起,突兀又贴切。箭就在弦上,张力无处不在。 故事套故事的结构,是一种高...
评分看了玛.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...
评分不知道为什么,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...
Beautiful, delicate, contained, and powerful.
评分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The word is a flame burning in a dark glass.Incredible 有一段时间没有这样爱上一本小说了!从第三章开始发现《盲刺客》的作者是Iris而非Laura,因为词语和句式,还有观察到的东西,分明就是Iris的。
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.
评分Prose很棒,也有很多妙语
