Praise for
Pier Paolo Pasolini "[Pasolini was a] brilliant intellectual, a director, and a homosexual, whose political vision-based on a singular entwinement of Eros, Catholocism, 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, author of
The Conformist and
Roman Tales "Pasolini was an artist and thinker who tried not to resolve his contradictions but rather to fully embody them."
--Dennis Lim,
The New York Times "Pasolini does in prose what Giuseppe Gioachino Belli had done in poetry a century before, namely voice society's dregs in their own distinctive idiom."
--
TLS "Pasolini was always searching, completely open to different ways of looking at things."
--Jytte Jensen, curator of the Pasolini retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York
