This collection, previously unpublished in English, displays all the evocative force of Hedayats writing, and confirms his place in the literary canon. The title story follows the protagonists increasingly unstable mental state through the repeated occurrence of three drops of blood, while `Hajji Morad depicts an almost Joycean epiphany in classically understated terms, as a man mistakes another woman for his wife. Written before the revolution of 1979, Hedayats stories were banned by the Tehran authorities in 2006. Addressing themes such as marriage and divorce customs and the displacement of Irans ancient Zoroastrian faith, they have acquired a new relevance in recent decades..
