Sadeq Hedayat: His Work and His Wondrous World Katouzian Homa
Featuring contributions from leading scholars of Iranian studies and / or comparative literature, this edited comprehensive and critical edited collection provides detailed scholarly analysis of Hedayat's life and work using a variety of methodological and conceptual approaches.Hedayat is the author of The Blind Owl, the most famous Persian novel both in Iran and in Europe and America.

Many of his short stories are in a critical realist style and are regarded as among some of the best written in twentieth century Iran.
