	Leonardo Sciascia
		Leonardo Sciascia, uno dei più importanti scrittori italiani contemporanei, narra la storia della Sicilia che, nei suoi aspetti positivi e negativi riflette la storia italiana dal punto di vista sia sociale sia politico.
		Su questo interrogativo Sciascia costruisce uno dei suoi libri più belli, di un'intensità d'analisi e quasi d'immedesimazione nelle motivazioni non dette, nella logica e nell'etica segreta del personaggio, che giunge a sfiorare l'incandescenza della verità.
		Leonardo Sciascia conclude così l'introduzione a questo volume che, prendendo spunto da diversi fatti di cronaca, denuncia le aberrazioni del sistema giudiziario, anticipando con lucida intelligenza, i temi dell'attuale dibattito politico.

		Among Sciascia's Italian peers are writers who carry their meaning with them into English better--Italo Calvino with his tales of charm and erudition; Primo Levi with his devastatingly quiet writings on the Nazi concentration camps--but none have seeped so deeply into Italian identity as Sciascia.
		Sciascia also detested the historic compromise, on the grounds that the Communists should stay in the opposition and not join the system, and he went so far as to break with the party on the issue.
		Sciascia is not very interested in probing the motives or strategy of the Red Brigades; all the drama in his tale lies in the troubled relationship between Moro and his fellow Christian Democrats.

	Amazon.ca: Equal Danger: Books: Leonardo Sciascia,Carlin Romano,Adrienne Foulke (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is the most extreme—and gripping—depiction of the politics of paranoia by Leonardo Sciascia, master of the metaphysical detective novel.
		Sciascia begins his novel by quoting Rousseau, "...Tell me where on earth their exists a country where it is a crime to keep one's given word and to be generous, where the good man is despised and the wicked man is honored."
		Sciascia is more difficult to read and understand but he is well worth the effort.

	Leonardo Sciascia
		Sciascia was inspired by the Middle Ages, especially trials from the inquisition, and pre World War II events, such as the death of Raymond Roussel and the disappearance of Majorana, but also contemporary issues: his work on the kidnapping and assassination of Aldo Moro gained him considerable unpopularity from the Italian political world.
		Sciascia's intention in writing the book was to bring to as wide an audience as possible an awareness of the problem of the mafia and its hold, not only on Sicily, but on important areas of public life: the police, the judiciary, politics and even the Catholic Church.
		Sciascia analyses the events "without truth" that characterized Italian history from the case of Giuliano to the Moro affair.

	Leonardo Sciascia - Biografia
		Leonardo Sciascia nasce a Racalmuto, nell’entroterra agrigentino, l’8 gennaio 1921, primo di tre fratelli.
		Sciascia trascorre con il nonno e le zie la maggior parte dell’infanzia e il loro ricordo ricorrerà spesso nelle numerose interviste successivamente rilasciate dall’autore, nelle quali spiegherà anche il profondo legame con la Sicilia delle zolfare, a cui lo avvicinano il nonno e il padre.
		Sciascia muore a Palermo il 20 novembre 1989, salutato da numerose parole di stima, fra cui quelle del grande amico Gesualdo Bufalino.

	Voice Literary Supplement: Metaphysical Mafia
		The first of these is an example of a genre Sciascia is said to have invented—the "metaphysical mystery." Dostoyevsky would have quibbled with the claim, but it's true that no one stood the form on its head quite the way Sciascia did, or used it to quite the same ends.
		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.
		Sciascia's, too, could be a dissenting voice—the absurdity, irony, and inadvertent fabulism in his stories have more in common with the literature of Eastern Europe than Italy—but his was a different agenda.

	Leonardo Sciascia - Best of Sicily Magazine
		It is the complicated world of Italian public opinion, in which Sciascia was novelist, polemicist, occasional politician, and perennial nominee for the Nobel Prize.
		That Leonardo Sciascia transcended this violent maelstrom, subtly revealing society's greatest challenges in Everyman's life, leaves us with the impression of a master critic.
		His pen was his sword, and from his vantage point at Racalmuto, a town of Arab foundation with a Norman church and the ruins of a Norman castle, Sciascia, the consumate country squire, stood as a solitary knight poised to lead his island away from a vast sea of social conformity.

	The Knight and Death; Daughter of Silence (Leonardo Sciascia, Morris West)
		Its subject is a judge presiding over a murder trial in fascist Italy, and it is his thoughts and private conversations which constitute the real drama, a debate about the nature of the law and the legal process, and about individual responsibility and the ethics of capital punishment.
		Despite their more realistic presentation, none of West's characters are as "real" as Sciascia's, and though great things are claimed for them, none of them attain the heroic status of Sciascia's Deputy or "little judge".
		Leonardo Sciascia has been added to my list of authors to look out for, and connoisseurs of quality detective fiction should definitely check him out.

	Battling evil, and its long reach - The Boston Globe
		Detective novels urge us to think so, writes Carlin Romano in his fascinating introduction to Sicilian author Leonardo Sciascia's exquisite third novel, "Equal Danger" (1971), rereleased recently by New York Review Books along with his outstanding first novel, "The Day of the Owl" (1961).
		Sciascia (1921--89) accomplishes more in each of these 120-page novels than most writers in thrice that many, illuminating with droll and increasingly dark humor characters he calls "individuals but also figures -- of age-old degradation, of folkish cunning, of refined corruption, of barbaric or civilized virtue."
		This is one of many points Sciascia expands upon in "Equal Danger" a decade later, his immense growth as a writer plainly evident.

	Amazon.com: Open Doors and Three Novellas: Books: Leonardo Sciascia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A Sicilian who built his literary reputation with tales of crime that are rich in political significance, Sciascia is known for his lean but brooding prose and supple philosophical investigations: in his terrain, mystery centers not around crime but around justice.
		Sciascia, the elegantly learned and quite politically fearless Sicilian writer who died in 1989, wrote most of his fiction in the Sixties and early Seventies; but late in his life he wrote these novellas, in which his patented interests--the law, fascism, classic French and Italian literature, metaphysics--all recombine.
		Sciascia (Sicilian Uncles, etc.) here is a compiler of Stendhalian asides and ruminations rather than a narrative-maker.
