Read pic related a few months back. It's inspiring shit (seriously, if you're miserable about your life, read about what this woman went through and then pulled herself up from), and was pretty much the nail in the coffin for any lingerings ideas I had about modern Islam and Western society coexisting peacefully.

Thread is shit so far, but I just read a biography on Pasolini titled Pasolini Requiem that I'd recommend. It's very detailed and has some great sources.

Eh, he was also sort of a polemicist, writing political and critique article for quite a few different newspapers. I learned a lot more about Italian politics from like 1930-1970 than i expected to.

Pasolini's considered to be one of the top intellectuals of the XX in Italy. He also was a poet and a novelist, a 360° intellectual, but clearly became famous outside Italy more with his films. Nothing strange about it.
He also obviously discussed politics. A lot.
