Here comes the Doorstopper: Ġuzè Stagno interviews Alfred Sant

In local literary circles, Alfred Sant is an author more usually admired than read. It’s not that Sant’s books are bad: au contraire, they are probably the closest Maltese literature ever got to a ‘proper’ postmodern discourse. Sant’s last novel, cryptically titled L-Għalqa tal-Iskarjota, is something else, however. It features a cleverly plotted story that makes you turn the pages well into the night.
