Description
Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922–1975) was a major cultural figure in post-WWII Italy, well-known as a poet, novelist, communist intellectual, and filmmaker. In Danger is the first anthology in English devoted to his political and literary essays, with a generous selection of his poetry.
Against the backdrop of post-war Italy, and through the mid-'70s, Pasolini's writings provide a fascinating portrait of a Europe in which fascists and communists violently clashed for power and where journalists ran great risks. The controversial and openly gay Pasolini was murdered at the age of fifty-three; In Danger includes his final interview, conducted hours before his death.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Celebrated for his moral passion and analytical intelligence, Pasolini is hailed as a giant of Italian literature (Village Voice). Alberto Moravia notes Pasolini’s originality as a leftist citizen-poet who mourned Italy’s ruins without rhetoric. A. O. Scott praises him as possibly the most prodigiously talented artist of his era.
