Khobar Book Club - The Blind Owl

Hello everyone,
We will be continuing with our discoveries and readings of literature from different countries.
This time from a country not so far and not too foreign.

We will be reading Sadegh Hedayat's magnum opus! The Blind Owl.
it's considered a major literary work of 20th-century Iran.
And it has challenged many traditional Iranian conventions which is a quality that has marked Sadegh as the father of modernist Persian literature. (Whatever the hell that means lol)

The Blind owl is described as a haunting tale of loss and spiritual degradation. Replete with potent symbolism and terrifying surrealistic imagery. A story of loss, love and the human condition! and some other stuff idk, just like you i haven't read the book yet so join me and my club members as we read this book and decide is it truly good? or are we yet again hyping up another mediocre book? does the fact that it's an Iranian book makes it any different? or is it all becoming one and the same?

in this session we will be covering the entirety of this book so i expect you all to have finished the book before attending this session.

so yeah as always i encourage you to read. why? cause why not.

Until then, take care.
