Una vita violenta

(A Violent Life)

Garzanti, January 2015, pp.384

The idea for this novel came to Pasolini suddenly, almost urgently; according to the author, “the story of Una vita violenta took shape almost out of the blue one night in 1953 or 1954, while I was finishing Ragazzi di vita”. The two novels share similar narrative materials and were written one after the other, thus they are somehow related: once again, the protagonists are boys from working-class suburbs of Rome, and the novel tells their stories and their tragic journey through life. The idea for this novel came to Pasolini suddenly, almost urgently; according to the author, “the story of Una vita violenta took shape almost out of the blue one night in 1953 or 1954, while I was finishing Ragazzi di vita”.
