Kann sein, dass ich zu doof für das Buch bin. Sein Leid hat mir aber einfach zu starke Incel-Vibes gegeben.

A few passages held together a very strange and graphic narrative.

It’s very intriguing and well written but too dark and surreal for me right now. I need something I can hold on to a bit more, while this one slips through my fingers like grains of sand.

Graphic: Body horror, Death, Misogyny

اثری بی نظیر٬ عمیق٬ قابل تامل و تاثیرگذار که ادبیات و قلم قوی هدایت به تأثیرگذاری آن به شدت می افزاید. داستان در مجموع پنج یا شش شخصیت داشته که به نظرم همگی انشعاباتی از سه شخصیت اصلی هستند ضمن اینکه دیدگاه روان شناسانه فرویدی در خصوص عقده ادیپ در جای جای داستان مشهود است.

This was a lot. Take that as you will.
For anyone else wanting to read this, it took me a solid chunk of time to think about the message within the Blind Owl and find some articles that discussed what the fuck I actually read.
The book itself is pretty violent towards women and made me go, "that's a nah from me dawg." I simply do not want to read the ramblings of a misogynistic narrator!
The way Hedayat builds dread in the first half is an absolute banger. The constant repetition and fever dream like qualities were a fun and heavy time.
