商品描述: 　　Laura Chase's older sister Iris, married at eighteen to apolitically prominent industrialist but now poor and eighty-two, isliving in Port Ticonderoga, a town dominated by theironce-prosperous family before the First War. While coping with herunreliable body, Iris reflects on her far from exemplary life, inparticular the events surrounding her sister's tragic death. Chiefamong these was the publication of The Blind Assassin, a novelwhich earned the dead Laura Chase not only notoriety but also adevoted cult following. Sexually explicit for its time, The BlindAssassin describes a risky affair in the turbulent thirties betweena wealthy young woman and a man on the run. During their secretmeetings in rented rooms, the lovers concoct a pulp fantasy set onPlanet Zycron. As the invented story twists through love andsacrifice and betrayal, so does the real one; while events in bothmove closer to war and catastrophe. By turns lyrical, outrageous,formidable, compelling and funny, this is a novel filled with deephumour and dark drama.
