How do the multiple levels of The Blind Assassin interact with one another? Do they unfold in concert, shedding light on one another, or is the relationship among them only apparent at the end of the book? What does the use of this narrative technique reveal about Atwood's methods of storytelling?

I think that the parallel stories do unfold in concert and shed light on each other throughout the book. I guess there is a sort of detective story aspect to the story for the reader to figure out what is going on.
