Praise for Leonardo Sciascia Sicilian novelist Leonardo Sciascia died in 1989, but several of his titles are worthy of mention. The Wine Dark Sea is a collection of short stories, while To Each His Own is a quirky murder mystery and The Council of Egypt is about a Maltese monk who is asked to translate an Arabic manuscript but instead invents every word and uses the money to manipulate Palermo's aristocracy.
