Back cover blurb:

"A young man, an old man and a beautiful young girl perform, as if framed with a Persian miniature, a ritual of passion, dreams and destruction. This extraordinary story combines the mystery of the Arabian Nights with an acutely contemporary sense of panic and hallucination. It is a macabre masterpiece that ranks with the best of Poe -- and the most important Persian work of literature written this century."

Iraj Bashiri interprets The Blind Owl as a reworking of the Bardo Thodol.

Wolfe, Gene

Peace.
