Shoghi Effendi referred to the work as follows:Ī model of Persian prose, of a style at once original, chaste and vigorous, and remarkably lucid, both cogent in argument and matchless in its irresistible eloquence, this Book, setting forth in outline the Grand Redemptive Scheme of God, occupies a position unequalled by any work in the entire range of Baháʼí literature, except the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, Baháʼu'lláh's Most Holy Book. It is sometimes referred to as the completion of the Persian Bayán. The Íqán constitutes the major theological work of Baháʼu'lláh, and hence of the Baháʼí Faith.

A major complication is that he’s misrepresented himself to his boss in order to be employed and the lie is constantly getting in his way. So we have a conventional comic novel setup here, the pathetic loner in a pathetic job. Its agents, if you will – such as our man Andrew – enter the home or flat to root through personal belongings in search of money stuffed under a mattress and names and addresses of the next of kin who should be contacted. It’s a benevolent bureaucracy, its purpose being to learn if there are people – like family – who ought to know an elder has passed away unnoticed. He’s, a forlorn, reclusive, apparently long-suffering man of 42, who works for something called the “council,” which is apparently some British governmental agency that looks after elderly people who have died alone.

The author takes creative and inventive liberties with point of view, structure, form, and conventional notions of the novelistic plot line throughout.
