Recensione:
"Goldstein's translation works best when Pasolini is at his simplest, with beautiful descriptions of the city by day and night." --The Guardian
Praise for Pier Paolo Pasolini
"A brilliant intellectual, a director, and a homosexual, whose political vision based on a singular entwinement of Eros, Catholicism, and Marxism - foresaw Italian history after his death, and the burgeoning of global consumerism" -- Ed Vulliamy, The Guardian
"Pasolini is Italy's most important twentieth century poet." -- Alberto Moravia
"Pasolini was an artist and thinker who tried not to resolve his contradictions but rather to embody them fully." -- Dennis Lim, The New York Times
L'autore:
Pier Paolo Pasolini was born in 1922. He was an Italian film director, poet, writer, and intellectual. Throughout his life he exhibited extraordinary cultural versatility and became a highly controversial figure in the process. While his work remains controversial, since his death in 1975, Pasolini has come to be seen as a visionary thinker and a major figure in italian literature and art. American literary critic Harold Bloom considered Pasolini to be a major 20th-century poet and included his works in his collection of the Western Canon.
