  • This essay, presented at the 12th Leonardo Sciascia Colloquium held in Rome on the 7th and 8th of October 2021, focuses on four of Sciascia's novels (The Day of the Owl, To Each his Own, Equal Danger and One Way or Another) comparing them with his essays on crime novels from the 1950s to the 1980s. The essay focuses on the figure of the detective, the narrative structure, the implosion of the detective genre, the use of irony, the category of the false probable and on the influence of the British crime novel on one hand and Montaigne on the other.
