Laura Chases older sister Iris, married at eighteen to a politically prominent industrialist but now poor & eighty-two, is living in Port Ticonderoga, a town dominated by their once-prosperous family before the First War.

While coping with her unreliable body, Iris reflects on her far from exemplary life, in particular the events surrounding her sisters tragic death. Chief among these was the publication of The Blind Assassin, a novel which earned the dead Laura Chase not only notoriety but also a devoted cult following.

Sexually explicit for its time, The Blind Assassin describes a risky affair in the turbulent thirties between a wealthy young woman & a man on the run. During their secret meetings in rented rooms, the lovers concoct a pulp fantasy set on Planet Zycron.

As the invented story twists through love & sacrifice & betrayal, so does the real one; while events in both move closer to war & catastrophe.

By turns lyrical, outrageous, formidable, compelling & funny, this is a novel filled with deep humour & dark drama.

in 24 June 1948 the Soviet Union abruptly closed all land & water access to the Western Sectors of Berlin. Over 2 million civilians, dependent on the surrounding territory & the West for food, fuel, & other basic goods, were suddenly cut off from all necessities of life. The Western Allies had the option of either withdrawing their garrisons & allowing the Soviet Union to take control of the entire city, or of trying to supply the city by air. Never before in history had 2 million people been supplied exclusively by air. None of the senior military commanders believed it could be done. But the political leadership in London & Washington insisted that it must be done. A withdrawal from Berlin would discredit the West at a critical moment in history, when the Soviet Union was expanding aggressively across Europe. Worse, it would endanger the political stability & economic recovery of all of Europe. So one of the largest & most ambitious humanitarian efforts in history was set in motion. It began without the West really knowing what the Berliners needed in order to survive ...
