This collection of short stories, previously unpublished in English, displays the disturbing and evocative force of Hedayat's writing, and confirms his place in the literary canon. They depict a world of revelation, uncanny similarity, grotesquery and insanity. The title story, 'Three Drops of Blood', follows the protagonist's increasingly unstable mental state through the repeated occurence of three drops of blood, while 'Hadji Murat' depicts an almost Joycean epiphany in classically understated terms, as a man mistakes another woman for his wife. These are stories which, though set in a distinctive milieu, deal with universal truths and cut to the very essence of humanity. No library descriptions found. |

13 short story selections from 3 volumes: Three Drops of Blood, Stray Dog and Buried Alive. The title stories Three Drops of Blood and Buried Alive most closely resemble Hedayat's Blind Owl. Both are strange, dream-like, nightmarish stories about madness. Highly recommended. ( )
