Sadegh Hedayat — The Blind Owl

“In life there are wounds that, like leprosy, silently scrape at and consume the soul, in solitude—This agony can not be revealed to anyone, because they generally tend to group this incomprehensible suffering with strange and otherwise rare events, and if one speaks or writes about it, then people, by way of popular perception and their own beliefs, receive it with a doubtful and mocking smile.”

We'll meet in the lobby of Motel One to discuss Sadegh Hedayat's The Blind Owl. Hedayat, an admirer and translator of Kafka's works, is one of the most important Iranian authors of the 20th century.
