Abstract: Mario Thomas Vassallo reviews Mario Cutajar's memoir recounting his years in the public service. Mario Cutajar's Noti (Klabb Kotba Maltin, 2025) is a distinctive and compelling addition to Maltese public administration literature - one that moves deliberately away from the detached, analytical tone of academic writing and towards something more intimate, interpretive and deeply human. Published three years after the scholarly volume Public Service Reforms in a Small Island State: The Case of Malta, authored by Frank Bezzina, Emanuel Camilleri and Vincent Marmara and published by Springer, NOTI enters the conversation from an entirely different angle.
