Title: Small writing jewel
Product review: Leonardo Sciascia's "The Day of the Owl" is a beautifully written mystery/novella that gives the reader a look at the complexity and xenophobia that have characterized Sicily to some degree throughout its history. The translation of this work is superb--the language is evocative and insightful throughout. "Owl" is not only a standout for its genre, it's literature of high quality. The book has made me want to read all of the Sciascia books in the New York Review of Books series.
