4.0 out of 5 stars Irony of Creation, May 23, 2000
By 
Amin Alavi (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Myth of Creation: A Puppet Show in Three Acts (Bibliotheca Iranica: Performing Arts Series) (Hardcover)
Why did god create mankind? "Why did he create me?" could Hedayat ask as well. Hedayat, who was a pessimist with a great sense of humor has written a witfull play, that makes fun of the myth of creation. This book is not antireligious, although one might believe so. It is a very religious one, indeed. But it is against the dogma of all religions, and not only the islamic version of it. The play is not one of Hedayats best books but it figures among his funniest books. A book that believes mankind is more precious to believe in old stories; told by old men who just want some fun.

Read it and laugh, couse that is what Hedayat did, when he wrote this joyfull play.
