Writing about his native Sicily and its culture of secrecy and suspicion, Sciascia matched sympathy with skepticism, unflinching intelligence with a streetfighter's intransigent poise. Sciascia was particularly admired for his short stories, and The Wine-Dark Sea offers what he considered his best work in the genre: thirteen spare and trenchant miniatures that range in subject from village idiots to mafia dons, marital spats to American dreams. Here, in unforgettable form, Sciascia examines the contradictions--sometimes comic, sometimes deadly, and sometimes both--of Sicily's turbulent history and day-to-day life.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Wine Dark Sea | Leonardo Sciascia | Paperback | 9780940322530 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1739557 (temp: 17)","offer_id":48168754479256,"sku":"1739557","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71c3kcVOYML.jpg?v=1771977121","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/wine-dark-sea","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
