Ernest Mandel (1923-1995), was one of the most prominent anti-Stalinist Marxist intellectuals of his time.

Writing/talks
These talks represent a unique collective project with each contributing writer talking and responding to a community of peers for whom writing is a central activity rather than a cultural object. The talks range from lecture to free-for-all conversation in form and from formal analysis to new modes of non-narrative writing in subject. Some of the writers examine their own work. Others look at the work of contemporaries or earlier writers from Homer through Stein, Olson, and Spicer. Other subjects considered include the theories of writing and desire, feminist writing and gay writing, and the effects of the arms race on contemporary writers.

Three well-off young men—former students at Rome’s prestigious all-boys Catholic high school San Leone Magno—brutally tortured, raped, and murdered two young women in 1975. The event, which came to be known as the Circeo massacre, shocked and captivated the country, exposing the violence and dark underbelly of the upper middle class at a moment when the traditional structures of family and religion were seen as under thr...
