Black Light is a voyage of discovery and transformation. Set in
Iran, it tells the story of Jamshid, a quiet simple carpet mender,
who one day suddenly commits a murder and is forced to flee. With
this violent act his old life ends and a strange new existence
begins.Galway Kinnell combines his gift for precise imagery with a
storyteller's skill in this journey across the Iranian desert away
from the fragile self-righteous virtues of adopted moral tradition,
into the disorder and sexual confusion of agonizing self-knowledge.
First published in 1966 by Houghton Mifflin, this extensively
revised paperback edition of Black Light brings a distinguished
novel back into print
