Description

Pier Paolo Pasolini was one of the most important. Italian intellectuals of the post-World War II era. An astonishing polymath-poet, novelist, literary critic, political polemicist, screenwriter, and film director- he exerted profound influence on Italian culture up to his tragic and still unsolved murder in 1975. This revised edition of what the New York Times Book Review has called "the standard Pasolini biography" introduces the artist to a new generation of readers. Updated throughout and with a new afterword covering the efforts to reopen Pasolini's murder investigation-and the legal maelstrom surrounding his demise- this book is a riveting account of one of the twentieth century's most controversial iconoclasts.
