In danger: a pasolini anthology, paperback/pier paolo pasolini

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, Pasolinis 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.
