Sipped Ink vol 6 — The Blind Assassin

This is the archive of a series of weekly emails sent out in 2020 to a group of readers participating in the sixth annual Sipped Ink read-along. It’s an open question as to how much this material will have worth in accompanying your own reading of Margaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin (2000). The switch from weekly emails to static archive makes the wording of some things sit strangely; but, if you can overlook that, I stand by most of my notes on the text itself.

If you are about to read The Blind Assassin I hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as we did in the summer of 2020, and that you get some value from this material:
