The Blind Owl by Sadegh Hedayat

The Blind Owl by Sadegh Hedayat

A painter of pen-case covers sits alone in a room, opium in his blood, writing to his shadow on the wall. He has seen a woman through an impossible opening in his room. He has buried her. He is not certain any of it happened.

Hedayat's 1936 novel was banned in Iran for years and is still the book modern Persian literature is measured against. It moves in a spiral rather than a line, returning to the same faces and the same room until the reader can no longer tell dream from memory.

Short, feverish and genuinely unlike anything else you have read.
