This is the first time I read Pasolini, I had a lot of trouble to go through with the reading, which has nothing to do with the translation that seems excellent to me, or the fact that the theme might seem "scandalous" as this is the evocation of the author on his first love toward young boys. That there has endless descriptions of landscapes, the situation of a river such as the staircase of the house of so and so and so ... felt decor asked the filmmaker future. At times when diving deep inside himself, one feels a certain surge of writing but overall, this book is laborious to read and the end is not an end. It should be noted that it is for "impure acts" the diary of Pasolini reworked and that more "Amadio mo" is loosely based on his life fiction.
