The Iranian writer Sadeq Hedayat is the most influential figure in twentieth-century Persian fiction--and the object of a kind of cult after his suicide in 1951.
A work of advocacy for a disturbing and powerful piece of fiction, his comprehensive analysis reveals the significance of The Blind Owl as a milestone not only for Persian writing but also for world literature.
Viewed in this context, Hedayat's intricate chronicle challenges the very notion of a national literature, rethinking and reshaping our traditions until we are compelled, "through its eyes," to see them in a new way.

 Nobel Prize in Literature 1951 - Presentation Speech
In a youthful manifesto of 1913 entitled Ordkonst och bildkonst [Verbal Art and Pictorial Art], Pär Lagerkvist, whose name was then unknown, had the audacity to find fault with the decadence of the literature of his time which, according to him, did not answer the requirements of art.
Lagerkvist, with a precocious instinct of the imagination, apprehended the approaching disaster so far in advance that he was the prophet of anguish in Nordic literature; but he is also one of the most vigilant guardians of the spirit's sacred fire which threatens to be extinguished in the storm.
But if the occasion were less solemn, I would be tempted to tell you quite simply, in the old Swedish manner: may it bring you happiness.

Lagerkvist (1891-1974) was a prominent Swedish man of letters to whom his fellow-countrymen awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1951.
Although several of his dark and brooding novels have been published in the United States, his poetry is little known among us, and this volume helps to fill the gap in our knowledge.
What makes the book most interesting to students of literature and theology is the evidence of a genuine psychornachy in the poet himself.
