“Indeed when the truth which had been confined to literature emerged harsh and tragic within the context of everyday life, and could no longer be ignored, it seemed as if it were the product of literature. Thus it was the men of letters who were blamed by the politicians in power, or on the periphery of power. And not without some justification, some insight, considering that at a given moment these same men of letters were to experience the hallucinatory impression that they had invented that reality.”
- Leonardo Sciascia
