Conversation with Sciascia

Authors Ian Thomson and Caroline Moorehead talk about the Sicilian writer and playwright on the occasion of the Italian publication of Ian Thomson’s 1985 interview with Sciascia in Sicily: “Una conversazione a Palermo con Leonardo Sciascia” (Rubbettino).

In December 1985, young journalist Ian Thomson boarded a train from Rome to Palermo, in order to meet Leonardo Sciascia. That journey and then his encounter with the famous writer were recounted in an article on the London Magazine in 1987, and the interview is now published in Italian for the first time, in the translation by Adele Maria Troisi, together with the correspondence Thomson and Sciascia had prior to their meeting and afterwards.
