A review by 22halo
The Blind Owl by Sadegh Hedayat

5.0

the taste of the bitter stub end of a cucumber…
the interlocking female and male mandrake…
the sound of a hollow grating laugh that makes ones hair stand on end…
the distorted reflection in the mirror… the way the two distinct parts are distorted reflections upon each other, starting and ending and starting and ending in a loop. i appreciate a good plotbending storyline. breathtaking work. and also one of the hardest sub200 page books i’ve read because i have been feeling incredibly melancholic and it doesn’t mix well with the tortured state of mind of our protagonist. so haunting. *gets stabbed one million times*
