Against the backdrop of post-war Italy, and continuing through the mid-'70s, Pasolini’s writings provide a fascinating portrait of a Europe in which fascists and communists violently clashed for power and journalists ran great risks. The controversial and openly gay Pasolini was murdered at fifty-three; <em>In Danger</em> includes his final interview, conducted hours before his death, as well as the cryptic litany "What Is This Coup? I Know," which many suspect motivated his murder. Here also are Pasolini’s essays on cultural topics like hippies and Zen buddhism, literary discussions of writers like Italo Calvino, Marianne Moore, and Costantine Cavafy, and even a 1967 interview between Pasolini and Ezra Pound concerning Pound’s relationship to the contemporary Italian avant-garde. The poetry ranges from early works written in the Friulan dialect through his later lyric blasts against fascism.</p> <P><em>In Danger</em> is edited and introduced by internationally renowned poet Jack Hirschman, who also edited the enduring City Lights classic <em>Artaud Anthology</em>. Translated by several hands, including Hirschman and well-known rocker Jonathan Richman, <em>In Danger </em>is essential reading for anyone interested in Pasolini’s brave lyricism and critical insight.</p> 02 <i>In Danger</i> reveals the literary life of internationally renowned filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini 08 <p>"Pasolini writes with touching vulnerability of his youth, his mother, and his sex life, as well as the more universal themes of loneliness, aging, anger, disappointment, and fear. At the same time, concerns with poverty, revolution, and the class struggle are pervasive. . . . Semiotics and philosophical speculation are regularly intertwined with political thought."</p> <p></p> Rain Taxi 23 01 http://www.citylights.com/resources/titles/87286100743270/extras/InDangerExcerptCL.pdf 04 03 72 01 http://www.citylights.com/resources/titles/87286100743270/images/87286100743270L.jpg 07 03 72 01 http://www.citylights.com/resources/titles/87286100743270/images/87286100743270S.jpg http://www.citylights.com/book/?GCOI=87286100743270 City Lights Publishers 01 City Lights Publishers 20100801 08 16 oz City Lights Books 01 WORLD 20 20100801 01 02 16.95 USD
