Krátky popis
Winner of the Man Booker PrizeBy the author of The Handmaid's Tale
and Alias GraceLaura 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.
