The blind killer

The novel "The Blind Killer" by the distinguished Canadian writer Margaret Atwood deservedly won the Booker Prize in 2000. The novel "The Blind Killer" is truly a literary masterpiece and a wonderful human epic. At the beginning of the novel, Iris Chase recounts her memories of her sister Laura's fall from the bridge in 1945. Followed by a newspaper report about the incident. But as the reader prepares to immerse themselves in Laura's story, Atwood takes them to another novel titled "The Blind Killer," included within the main story, which is science fiction, narrated by lovers in dark rooms on back streets. When we return to Iris, it is 1947, within a newspaper article about the discovery of a boat carrying the body of her deceased husband, the well-known industrialist Richard Griffon. Thus, Atwood begins the novel by weaving the main narrative threads to sharpen the reader's mind to seek the connection between them. "The Blind Killer" is a multi-layered novel with generosity and distinction; the lines and events intertwine rapidly. And when the events and lines intersect, the reader discovers that what Atwood narrates is not what it seems, but far beyond that.
