The Day of the Owl

Sciascia's depiction of small-town Italy feels so immersive and layered. I'm curious how much of this was based on real places or history.

His decisions often blurred the lines between right and wrong, which made me think about the nature of justice in corrupt systems. Did this resonate with others?

The narrative feels so rooted in real events but also has a poetic quality. I wonder what led to this storytelling approach.
