Featuring contributions from leading scholars of Iranian studies
and / or comparative literature, this edited comprehensive and
critical edited collection provides detailed scholarly analysis of
Hedayat's life and work using a variety of methodological and
conceptual approaches. Hedayat is the author of The Blind Owl, the
most famous Persian novel both in Iran and in Europe and America.
Many of his short stories are in a critical realist style and are
regarded as among some of the best written in twentieth century
Iran. But his most original contribution was the use of modernist,
more often surrealist, techniques in Persian fiction. Thus, he was
not only a great writer, but also the founder of modernism in
Persian fiction. Yet both Hedayat's life and his death came to
symbolize much more than leading writers would normally claim. He
still towers over modern Persian fiction and will remain a highly
controversial figure so long as the clash of the modern and the
traditional, the Persian and the European, and the religious and
the secular, has not led to a synthesis and a consensus.
