评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...
评分这是一部前紧后松、前好后差的小说,让人感觉一头沉。 首先是结构,本书的结构是否能算得上精巧?我看不能,因为它并不完整。如果说,小说开头是依靠双女主视角、现在和过去的变换、现实和虚构的关联来构成所谓嵌套结构的话,那么结尾的反转是不是有意打破了这种结构?比如,在...
评分我和亲爱的同事欧儿小姐窝在大图检室里,边工作边阿特伍德。 她手里的是《可以吃的女人》,我手里的是《盲刺客》。 她是个习惯一个字一个字啃书的细心女人,我是个修炼一目十行能力的抽象男人,我们在这次阅读中找到了共同点,那就是在哗哗的翻页声中大声的叹气。 这老太太太...
评分如果没记错,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...

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 brightest spot of the novel is its bleak tone.
评分结构层层叠叠,语言优美,看看停停老梳理不清楚,结果半个学期才看完
评分这是我读过结构最复杂的小说,值得重读。
评分"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."
评分其实真相已经猜得差不多,可是没有猜到iris跟alex james... 读到最后就剩下伤感...
