Search - The Blind Assassin

In The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood presents her readers with a novel-within-a-novel—or, more accurately, a story told within a novel within a novel. This complex interweaving of multiple narratives draws the reader forward through a dramatic and turbulent tale of love, betrayal, and death, while simultaneously using its structural puzzles to reconsider the act of storytelling itself. The effect is mesmerizing.

I tredged through the first 1/4th and finally gave up. I guess the writting was good but I could care less about the people. What a bore, had to quit because life is too short!

I enjoy Atwood, and I loved the characters and their interrelationships here. I especially enjoyed the sideplot with the outlandish science fiction story running through it. I found that very Ursula K. LeGuin.
