Book Synopsis
Italian novelist, poet, and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini was brutally killed in Rome in 1975, a macabre end to a career that often explored humanity's capacity for violence and cruelty. This title interprets his final works: the screenplay 'Saint Paul', the scenario for "Porn-Theo-Colossal", and the immense and unfinished novel "Petrolio".

Trade Review
"This is a book of striking originality - in its approach to Pasolini and in its reconfiguring of his oeuvre in light of Maggi's 'sodomitical' reading of four key late works. It is packed with insights gleaned both from Maggi's detailed and powerfully argued close analyses and from his highly stimulating forays beyond the four core texts." - Robert Gordon, University of Cambridge"
