This essay analyzes the “author’s notes” that Andrea Camilleri added to his detective novels featuring Inspector Montalbano. Drawing on Genette’s methodology, the analysis of their structural characteristics and communicative purposes demonstrates that these “author’s notes” poke fun at the conventions of this paratextual genre and the relationship between reality and fiction.
