"Two crucial questions", says Leonardo P. Alishan, "that the reader of Sadeq Hedayat's enigmatic The Blind Owl must answer are these; why has the novel been divided into two main sections (pp. 4-43 and 46-128), and how are the two related to each other and to the subsequent, brief denouement (pp. 129-130)? The questions are crucial because without answers to them the reader can neither fathom what the novel is all about nor begin to appreciate it as fiction." He is right on the whole. Yet he misses one crucial point. Namely, the novel is divided into four sections (pp. 9-43; 45-46; 47-114; 115-116), among which Alishan leaves the third unexplained. Without considering a part of the novella, how can one grasp it as a whole? This essay attempts, therefore, to analyze the structure of The Blind Owl in full and then to show that the novel is no longer enigmatic, even if it is indeed highly compricated. The stress will be mainly put on the two brief sections (pp. 45-6 and 115-6). Every sentence of them is scrutinized, consequently, we shall see that its construction is constantly exposed to the deconstruction.
