Margaret Atwood takes the art of storytelling to new heights in a dazzling new novel that unfolds layer by astonishing layer and concludes in a brilliant and wonderfully satisfying twist. For the past twenty-five years, Margaret Atwood has written works of striking originality and imagination. In â²
The Blind Assassinâ², she stretches the limits of her accomplishments as never before, creating a novel that is entertaining and profoundly serious. The novel opens with these simple, resonant words: â²
Ten days after the war ended, my sister drove a car off the bridge. â² They are spoken by Iris, whose terse account of her sister Lauraâ²—s death in 1945 is followed by an inquest report proclaiming the death accidental. But just as the reader expects to settle into Lauraâ²—s story, Atwood introduces a novel-within-a-novel. Entitled â²
The Blind Assassinâ², 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.
