{"product_id":"pasolini-requiem-second-edition-9780226335025","title":"Pasolini Requiem: Second Edition","description":"Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-75) 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 untimely death at the age of fifty-three. This revised edition of what the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e has called \"the standard Pasolini biography\" introduces the artist to a new generation of readers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Based on extensive interviews with those who knew Pasolini, both friends and enemies, admirers and detractors, \u003ci\u003ePasolini Requiem\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles his growth from poet in the provinces to Italy's leading \"civil poet\"; his flight to Rome in 1950; the scandalous success of his two novels and political writing; and his transition to film, where he started as a contributor to the golden age of Italian cinema and ended with the shocking \u003ci\u003eSal , or the 120 Days of Sodom\u003c\/i\u003e. Pasolini's tragic and still unsolved murder has remained a subject of contentious debate for four decades. The enduring fascination with who committed the crime--and why--reflects his vital stature in Italy's political and social history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Updated throughout and with a new afterword covering the efforts to reopen the investigation--and the legal maelstrom surrounding Pasolini's demise--this edition of \u003ci\u003ePasolini Requiem\u003c\/i\u003e is a riveting account of one of the twentieth century's most controversial, ever-present iconoclasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-305702\"\u003eBarth David Schwartz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226335025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022633502X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO007000\"\u003eLiterary Figures\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER004030\"\u003eFilm | History \u0026amp; Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT004200\"\u003eEuropean | Italian\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarth David Schwartz\u003c\/b\u003e, a Rhodes Scholar who earned degrees from Harvard College and Yale Law School, is a writer based in Baltimore, Maryland.
