There are writers who describe the world, and writers who go down into the dark to bring something back. Sadegh Hedayat was the second kind. Born in 1903 to a distinguished Tehran family, he turned from engineering, then architecture, then dentistry in Europe, and finally surrendered every conventional path to give his whole life to literature, folklore and the study of old Persia. His masterpiece, The Blind Owl, remains one of the most important works ever written in the Persian language, admired by Henry Miller and André Breton alike.
