All this is narrated in a "fable tone of one thousand and one nightmare nights" [5] ReceptionDescribing the novel as "superbly plotted" and "charged with bitter black humor," Kirkus Reviews praised it as "a masterly parable worthy of comparison with José Saramago’s Nobel-anointed fiction.[3] Boyd Tonkin from The Independent described it as a "a chilling fable of inscrutable tyranny and collective surrender."[5] Wolfgang Schneider from Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, while reviewing Der Raub des Königlichen Schlafs – a volume of 12 stories, novellas and short novels by Kadare, published in German –singled out The Blinding Order as the best one, describing it as a "grandiose story". According to him, it gives "literary form" to the "horror of the sabotage-accusation"-which numerous people in socialist countries fell victim to.[6] See also
