description: Paceville and Metanoia (2022) Two novels by Anton Sammut In this literary work Anton Sammut talks about his characters and the physical world in the light of the world of ideas (the truth the internal world) and the most used faculty which stands out above all else is memory. Each character reveals a little of his life wherefore the author catches them at the exact point where they have to make a decision. In this respect Sammuts post-modernism is active precisely because it is well-built on two competencies a fine writer is expected to possess: an in-born philosophical disposition and a formal knowledge of the History of Philosophy. The most decisive aspect is the fact there is a huge chasm between professional literary criticism and the popular one. The compromise the acknowledgement of a novel that avoids the two extremes has also been found and this is where Sammuts literary work excels.- Prof. Oliver Friggieri
