(The Street Kids)

Garzanti, September 2014, pp.256

The Street Kids is the most important novel by Italy’s preeminent late 20th Century author and intellectual, Pier Paolo Pasolini.

The Street Kids tells the story of Riccetto, a poor urchin who lives on the outskirts of Rome. Readers meet him at his first communion in 1944 during the German occupation of Italy. In the years that follow, drifting ever further from family and friends, Riccetto moves from petty theft to more elaborate cons and finally to prostitution. He is arrested and jailed after trying to steal some iron in order to buy his fiancée an engagement ring.
Pasolini’s message of rebellion and transgression is as important today as it was in the 1960s and 1970s.
