(Correspondance)

Garzanti, December 2021, pp.1552

DEFINITIVE EDITION CURATED BY ANTONELLA GIORDANO AND NICO NALDINI

This collection brings together, for the first time ever in their complete form, some of the richest, most significant examples of correspondence in Italian literature: by searching through Pier Paolo Pasolini’s papers, consulting the archives of various establishments, libraries and cultural institutes, contacting the writer’s addressees or their heirs, and checking newspapers, magazines and books, the editors have unearthed over 300 unpublished letters – among these there are in particular some addressed to Elsa Morante, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Attilio Bertolucci and Giorgio Bassani. This is in addition to the hundreds of letters we already know, which were sent to Italo Calvino, Allen Ginsberg, Alberto Arbasino and prominent representatives of European culture. The result is a body that is unique for the quality of its interlocutors and depth of expression, and one that also provides a true autobiography of one of the most complex, significant artists of 20th-century Italy.
