Blind Owl
A new English translation of one of the most important, controversial Iranian novels of the twentieth centuryA Penguin ClassicWritten by one of the greatest Iranian writers of the twentieth century, Blind Owl tells a two-part story of an isolated narrator with a fragile relationship with time and reality. He spends time painting the exact same scene on the covers of pen cases: an old man wearing a cape and turban sitting under a cypress tree, separated by a small stream from a beautiful woman in black who offers him a water lily. In first person, the narrator offers a string of hazy, dreamlike recollections fueled by opium and alcohol.
In part two, readers glimpse the grim realities that unlock the mysteries of the first part. In a one-page transition, the reader finds the narrator covered in blood and waiting for the police to arrest him. In a new translation that reflects Hedayat s conversational, confessional tone, Blind Owl joins the ranks of classics by Edgar Allan Poe, Franz Kafka, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky that explore the dark recesses of the human psyche.
