Description: Sadegh Hedayat, The Blind Owl. 1957, first American edition. Softcover. Published by Grove Press, an Evergreen original, E-100. Cover design by Roy Kuhlman. Translated from the Farsi by D. P. Costello. Very Good condition: strong binding; clean and unmarked contents. Spine slightly faded and with minor edgewear; top 1-inch of the front wrap has started to brown. Overall a solid copy that is both collectible and readable. The most important Modernist novel to come out of Iran (Persia). The author used a Sartre-influenced Western style and the story includes heavy drug use and macabre themes. Any of the original English language editions (the first British edition or any of the Grove Press editions) are scarce on the market.
