Description

Theorem by Pier Paolo Pasolini is a novel that explores themes of seduction, obsession, family, and the confines of capitalism. Based on his film of the same name, this enigmatic work takes shape as both fiction and film.

In short prose chapters interspersed with stark passages of poetry, Pasolini tells a story of transfiguration and trauma. A mysterious young man appears at the suburban home of a prosperous businessman, exercising a strange fascination on those around him. As he departs, his presence leaves a lasting impact on the inhabitants of the house.

The book raises questions about the possibility of escaping the spiritual desert of modern capitalism into a new awakening, both of the senses and of the soul. A complex and multifaceted work, Theorem is a blend of bedroom comedy, political novel, and religious parable.
