However, detective fiction provides more than entertainment; it often has a great deal to say about important social issues such as crime and punishment, justice and injustice, testimony and judgment. The Novel as Investigation examines a group of detective novels published from the mid-1980s to the end of the century by three Italian writers - Leonardo Sciascia, Dacia Maraini, and Antonio Tabucchi - whose commitment to ethical responsibility informs much of their work."--Jacket.Toronto Italian studies.Detective and mystery stories, ItalianHistory and criticismItalian fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismSocial justice in literatureSocial problems in literatureCriticism, interpretation, etc.Electronic books.
