Confusing? But there was a vision I think…

A strange, haunting story about loss and madness. An interesting look at the author's view of the human condition. Interesting read!

Demasiado denso como para encontrar fácilmente las palabras con las que pueda definirlo. Una atmósfera oscura y terrible, casi como una pesadilla. Hedayat, tal vez sin intención, tal vez plenamente consciente, ha plasmado en su libro pensamientos de locura que, solo quien transita por la desesperación (es decir, casi todos, en algún momento), es capaz de descifrar. Tiene ese "no sé qué" que me atrae de los artistas trágicos; esos que son capaces de autoinmolarse en su inútil búsqueda por La verdad.
