Aprašymas

"Ten days after the war ended, my sister drove a car off the bridge". With those almost literally haunting words, Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin begins. As readers we thread our way through the 1945 inquest hearings only to reach an abutment, a novella within the novel. This science fiction tale called, of all things, The Blind Assassin; is narrated by two lovers. When the period-piece novella ends, we lurch forward into other documents such as articles and newspaper clippings, wrapping us deeper and deeper into this novel's seductive mysteries. The narrator Iris, now eighty-two, spins out the story of herself and her deceased sister with fastidious precision. The writing, like poetry on a tight budget, holds us close to the page. The conception is ambitious, the finale, surprising.
