Praise
“Written in tandem with his 1968 film of the same name (Teorema), Pasolini’s resonant parable examines the spiritual bankruptcy of the bourgeoisie through a strikingly effective blend of brief vignettes, scenarios, and plangent poetic utterances….[his] spare lyricism complements and transcends his playfully detached framework of data, corollaries, and appendices, resulting in an affecting and captivating interrogation into the earthly and the sublime.” —David Wright, Library Journal
“Pier Paolo Pasolini…wants to tell us the tale of a miracle in the desecrated modern world. The mysterious and attractive young man who comes to visit the bourgeois family is a god, and [Theorem] recounts what miracles occur when a god appears in the lives of mortals.” —Alberto Moravia
“Theorem…evinces [Pasolini’s] seemingly irreconcilable allegiances to Marx, Freud, and Jesus Christ.” —James Quandt
“Pasolini…undertakes both a sensual odyssey and an incisive critique of the lack of social conscience of the Italian bourgeoisie in his 1969 novel…This is a penetrating exploration of existential meaning.” —Publishers Weekly
