Book Reviews of The Blind Owl
Book Review: 80 Proof Bleak
Summary: 4 Stars
The Blind Owl is just about the most exquisitely written piece of pure darkness I have read -- a tribute to both author and translator. Chronicling the descent into madness of a man plagued by opium addiction and the torments of his coquetting wife, Hedayat's mixture of streams of consciousness and vivid accounts of events is a particularly powerful device. Recommended for those interested in modern Middle-Eastern literature.
