“Ante un destino cierto”: la escritura en la obra de Leonardo Sciascia como forma absoluta de verdad

Abstract

Leonardo Sciascia’s poetic universe is founded on the conviction that literature is the realm where truth happens. Although intimately associated with delight, literary writing is not –in the Sicilian’s writer view– an erudite recreation of his own knowledge, nor a closed refuge from a comprehensive look at reality. On the contrary, Sciascia tries to find a meaning in that reality by analyzing the coincidences and connections among facts and events, in light of his personal literary background.
