Description
Rome's city streets are alive with the hunger and anger of its youth. In this daring novel, Pier Paolo Pasolini captures the raw energy of urban life in 1950s Italy. Pasolini's unflinching realism meets passionate lyricism in a vision of a vast urban inferno, where scenes of comic debauchery, bitter conflict, wild joy, and crushing disappointment unfold. The lives of these young characters are marked by struggle, desperation, and the search for connection - often through crime, vice, or sheer inventiveness. A world of convulsion, where disaster may strike at any moment, Boys Alive is a raw and unflinching portrayal of life on the margins.
