5.0�toiles sur 5 Very pleasing work from a Sicilian master, Mars 25 2004

Par	JSollami (Stamford, CT) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: To Each His Own (Paperback)

This tale has the punch of a good "Sopranos" episode, one that is filled with subtlety and atmosphere. Sciascia said, according to the introduction, "I don't have a great creative imagination.... All my books are the story of a series of historical delusions seen in the light of the present." Here the delusion is multifold: the delusion of Professor Laurana as he stumbles his way into dangerous territory merely because of his diffident intellectual curiosity; the delusion of the entire Sicilian community as it keeps its deadly secrets to itself, thereby perpetuating them; and the delusion of love as a wife deludes her husband and then, in the name of love, abets deadly acts. There are probably other delusions as well, too subtle for me. In the light of the present, a small band of old timers meet secretly to review reality and agree as to the mistakes the victims sadly made. All the characters in this disturbing and yet satisfying tale are drawn with a craftsman's fine brush requiring just a few telling strokes to present the whole picture. Professor Laurana, a quiet, intelligent man of modest habits, has all our sympathy as he makes a very human mistake. And the cronies that reside in the town gossip about one another almost as if directed by a cultural imperative, harking me back to my own Sicilian relatives. Although this work is horrifying, it also satisfies because of its fine writing, atmosphere, and well-drawn plot and characters. Bravo!
I thank New York Review Books for bringing out this edition and will be reading other Sciascia works very shortly.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Funny, sad - politics, family - open, hidden, Oct. 29 2002

Par	M. J. Smith (Seattle, WA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: To Each His Own (Paperback)

As one expects from Sciascia, this is a highly readable book with well-drawn characters, intriguing plot ... all the makings of a delightful read. But as one also expects from Sciascia, the book is also a pointed political and social commentary. Follow the meanderings of a less-than-socially-observant professor as he tries to unravel the murder of a drugist and doctor on opening day of hunting season. Discover that the real mystery is who knows what when ... and why everyone keeps their knowledge close to their breasts. If you like suspense that reveals the complexity of the human condition, this is definately for you.
