Settant’anni di critica sciasciana. A proposito di Leonardo Sciascia. The Man and the Writer di Joseph Farrell

This article picks up the discussion which took place on November 30th 2022 – in the presence of the author of the volume – at the book launch organised by the Amici di Leonardo Sciascia at the Università per Stranieri di Perugia, Italy. This article, focussed on some aspects identified as significant in Joseph Farrell’s extremely rich monograph, seeks to show why the book should be considered a turning-point in Sciascia Studies and an impetus to develop an overview of Sciascia criticism along the lines set out by Giuseppe Traina in 2009.
