Mitologica, dunque, la Marilyn di Pasolini, ma allo stesso tempo pienamente e tragicamente figlia del suo tempo: donna di origini povere, che a lui piaceva moltissimo perché si era conquistata con ironia e grazia la propria autonomia. Ma non le era stato perdonato. “È questo che nella sua vicenda umana commuove così profondamente Pasolini”, conclude Bernardi: “L’impossibilità della donna di affermarsi. La sua storia gli dice che la donna che prova a farlo finisce in ogni caso tragicamente”. V. PALERMI, “L’Espresso”, 8 giugno 2012
era rimasta solo la bellezza, e tu,
povera sorellina minore,
quella che corre dietro i fratelli più grandi,
e ride e piange con loro, per imitarli,
quella bellezza l’avevi addosso umilmente,
e la tua anima di figlia di piccola gente,
non ha mai saputo di averla,
perché altrimenti non sarebbe stata bellezza.
Così la tua bellezza divenne sua.
era rimasta sola la bellezza, e tu
te la sei portata dietro come un sorriso obbediente.
L’obbedienza richiede troppe lacrime inghiottite,
il darsi agli altri, troppi allegri sguardi
che chiedono la loro pietà! Così
ti sei portata via la tua bellezza.
Sparì come un pulviscolo d’oro.
e del feroce mondo futuro
era rimasta una bellezza che non si vergognava
di alludere ai piccoli seni di sorellina,
al piccolo ventre così facilmente nudo.
che hanno le dolci ragazze del tuo mondo…
le figlie dei commercianti
vincitrici ai concorsi a Miami o a Londra.
Sparì come una colombella d’oro.
Il mondo te l’ha insegnata,
e così la tua bellezza non fu più bellezza.
sciocca come l’antichità, crudele come il futuro,
e fra te e la tua bellezza posseduta dal Potere
si mise tutta la stupidità e la crudeltà del presente.
La portavi sempre dietro come un sorriso tra le lacrime,
impudica per passività, indecente per obbedienza.
Sparì come una bianca colomba d’oro.
richiesta dal mondo futuro, posseduta
dal mondo presente, divenne un male mortale.
smettono per un momento i loro maledetti giochi,
escono dalla loro inesorabile distrazione,
e si chiedono: «È possibile che Marilyn,
la piccola Marilyn, ci abbia indicato la strada?»
Ora sei tu,
quella che non conta nulla, poverina, col suo sorriso,
sei tu la prima oltre le porte del mondo
abbandonato al suo destino di morte.

Ambientato durante gli anni Cinquanta – reinventati in modo da diventare tra i più veri e struggenti mai raccontati – Lo spazio sfinito è popolato dai personaggi del nostro immaginario collettivo (oltre a Kerouac, Marilyn e Miller c’è Neal Cassady, e il giovane Holden…), i quali però, attraverso le loro vicende di solitudine, desiderio, amicizie infrante, cuori spezzati e vite da ritrovare, si rivelano paurosamente simili a noi.
Questo di Pincio è uno dei romanzi più intensi e commoventi degli ultimi anni, nelle pagine del quale tutto ciò che credevamo di conoscere mostra il suo lato più intimo e nascosto e ci parla più vicino di quanto non sia mai accaduto: date una maschera a uno scrittore, a un’attrice di Hollywood, al mondo intero, e finalmente vi dirà la verità”.
