Summary

 

Emanuele Trevi: Something Written

 

An almost true story about an impossible meeting with Pier Paolo Pasolini

Emanuele Trevi, one of the most interesting Italian authors of the middle generation, gained his reputation with layered works in which he mixes prose genres in his own unique way. In the book Something Written, which won him the European Prize for Literature, Trevi combines autobiography and essay telling about the days when, as an employee of the Pier Paolo Pasolini Foundation, he was subjected to a kind of initiation rite, thanks to the peculiar Laura Betti, former actress and head of the foundation.

Memories alternate with reflections on Nafta, Pasolini's work in which Italian critics are still seeking an answer to the question of the author's to an unexplained death: "Nafta is a long passage, what remains of a mad, visionary, revelatory work that breaks through all codes. Pasolini worked on it from the spring of 1972 until the days immediately preceding his death, on the night between the first and second of November 1975. Nafta is a wild beast. A chronicle of the process of knowledge and transformation. It is a knowledge of the world and an experiment on oneself."

In its own way, with a diverse and fragmentary text, Trevi promotes Pier Paolo Pasolini as a paradigmatic figure of Italian and European culture of the 20th century and offers a different view of his last work, interpreting it as a chronicle of personal initiation and irreversible transformation — a sublime flash of knowledge that "cuts the soul".
