P.P.P., Pier Paolo Pasolini

"Pier Paolo Pasolini was one of the most outstanding, enigmatic characters of the European intelligentsia in the latter half of the twentieth century. Published in commemoration of the thirtieth anniversary of Pasolini's death, this book provides insight into his moral concepts and ideas through his essays, films, drawings, and paintings. Among the book's many explorations is that, inherent in Pasolini's understanding of art and his world view, was the notion of violent death, which, ultimately, he may have consciously sought out in order to reconcile his life and work."--BOOK JACKET
