Flying at the Fall of Dusk

This collection of essays purportedly deals with the 2019 Person of the Year in Organized Crime and Corruption: Malta's Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, on whose watch journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was murdered while investigating some of the sleaziest instances of State corruption in the European Union.

While analysing Muscat's political style and the use he relentlessly made of the liberal agenda to create a smokescreen for his political aides' scandals and corruption ploys, Sammut Sassi takes short detours into matters of philosophy, jurisprudence, religion, literature, cinema, and history.

The collection is a sort of "liberal" education, understood in the classic sense of exposing the reader to some of the most important works, contemporary and classic, that the well-read woman and man of culture of today should be aware of.

The essays also deal with the issues such as abortion and euthanasia from a conservative point of view, offering a new take on these controversial issues of our times.
