/lit/ - Literature

I'm learning farsi, what are some great persian novels ? I'm not much into poetry...

pic related is said to be amazing

This.

Perhaps this book.

My opinion on this sort of thing changes all the time I think, but at the moment my vote goes to The Blind Owl. I had no idea what I was getting into with that book, and it just blew my mind completely.

This is the first book I read this year, and it blew my fucking mind. I heartily recommend it to both you and your girlfriend.

This. Novel. Holy. Shit. Art.

Why not read from French surrealist authors then?

Pic isn't french but it is surreal

Hi /lit/, could we talk about books that read like a David Lynch film?

Pic related, its non-linear, recurring scenes, the narrator's sanity is questionable and he sometimes does crazy irrational things. The whole thing feels like a nightmare.

Hey /lit/, can we have one of these ebook threads?
I'll start
Sadegh Hedayat - The Blind Owl
>The Blind Owl tells the story of an unnamed pen case painter, the narrator, who sees in his macabre, feverish nightmares that "the presence of death annihilates all that is imaginary. We are the offspring of death and death delivers us from the tantalizing, fraudulent attractions of life; it is death that beckons us from the depths of life. If at times we come to a halt, we do so to hear the call of death... throughout our lives, the finger of death points at us." The narrator addresses his murderous confessions to the shadow on his wall resembling an owl. His confessions do not follow a linear progression of events and often repeat and layer themselves thematically, thus lending to the open-ended nature of interpretation of the story.

Any thoughts on this?
I'm currently half way through it and think it's brilliant

I'm fascinated. Has anyone read this? Thoughts?

Thankyou, /lit/.
