When he died in 1975, Pier Paolo Pasolini was working, among other things, on the manu- script of Petrolio, a novel which, he foresaw in a personal letter, would have occupied “the rest of his life”, and which would have come to constitute his own personal and intellectual summa. He was killed a few months later. The 1992 posthumous Einaudi edition, which curbed the two-thousand-page manuscript down to five hundred – and which was attacked for a number of aesthetic and, above all, moral(istic) reasons – best represents Pasolini’s time of the darkest visions, where an almost absolute lack of trust in the human being and the socio-historical context of his country emerges. Also due to its fragmentary state and style, reading Petrolio is a hard experience, which feels a bit like drinking a cup of sand.
