Describe Sciascia’s “Antimony” external and internal structure and comment on the narrator-protagonist’s decisions and his development over the course of his service in Spain. Cite the text to indicate what strike you as key moments in his individual growth and path toward self-knowledge. Comment as to whether this hybrid genre-combining historical chronicle and personal fiction-is successful. In the last part of your response, give a brief synopsis of Pratolini’s “A Long Christmas Journey” as a collective portrait of a group of poor Italians at war’s end and suggest ways in which it might be compared and/or contrasted to Sciascia’s “Antimony.”
