Description
The Blind Owl by Ṣādiq Hidāyat is a haunting tale of loss and spiritual degradation. A young opium addict's despair after losing a mysterious lover drives him to record his obsession with a beautiful woman, even as it propels him further into frenzy and madness. A complex web of events revolves around the same set of mental images: an old man with a spine-chilling laugh, four cadaverous black horses with rasping coughs, and a hidden urn of poisoned wine. This mesmerizing narrative is presented to contemporary audiences with a new introduction by Porochista Khakpour. This edition of The Blind Owl offers a unique reading experience, perfect for those interested in modern Iranian literature and psychological fiction.
