«Dans la main de l'ange» is the novel by Dominique Fernandez, published by B. Grasset in paperback (454 pages, in French).
The novel recreates the life of Pier Paolo Pasolini, eternal outsider and rebel, from his childhood with his mother to his death on a beach near Rome. It spans contemporary Italy, from fascism to the Red Brigades, with figures such as Moravia, Fellini and Maria Callas. It is more an exercise in imaginative reinvention than a biography.
The novel won the Prix Goncourt in 1982. Dominique Fernandez appears on the cover as a member of the Académie française. The original edition was published in Paris.
For readers of French literature and fictionalised biographies, especially those who want to approach the figure of Pier Paolo Pasolini.
