Review on the Narrative Strategy of The Blind Assassin
1. Introduction
Margaret Atwood’s latest novel, The Blind Assassin, has turned out to be the
continuance of the Canadian author’s ceaselessly striking originality and
imagination. In spite of the hearsay that this novel was likely to be laure
ated with Nobel Prize, which, however, finally went to Naipaul, The Booker
Prize 2000 has justified all accolades The Blind Assassin should deserve. In
The Blind Assassin, Atwood stretches the limits of her accomplishments as
never before, creating a novel that is both entertaining and profoundly serious.
This essay attempts to analyze the narrative strategy of this novel from the
perspective of reader as well as of literary text itself, and to explore the
aesthetic values viewed in terms of reader-response criticism and of
Bakhtinian polyphonic theory.
