Widely regarded as Sadegh Hedayat's masterpiece, The Blind Owl is the most important work of literature to come out of Iran in the past century. On the surface, this work seems to be a tale of doomed love, but with each page, facts become obscure, revealing that this book is much more than a love story. Although it has been compared to Kafka, Rilke, and Poe, it defies categorization. The 75th anniversary edition, translated by Naveed Noori, aims to bring this work into the English literary canon. It features extensive footnotes, a detailed textual analysis, and preserves the spirit of Hedayat's writing.
