AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"Sciascia's subtext, which straddles the line between cynicism and despair, is that in an insane society, the quest for truth can only be a psychopathic act. This understanding is the engine that drives Sciascia's fictions, sturdy as they are, to the brink of absurdity: Pirandello (the subject of Sciascia's first book) saw Sicilian society as a hall of mirrors and described it by means of elaborately refracting fictions. Sciascia stacks one crisp line on top of another, but the world he evokes is no less surreal."Sciascia, Leonardo is the author of 'To Each His Own', published 2000 under ISBN 9780940322523 and ISBN 0940322528.
