Petróleo, aparecida póstumamente en Italia en octubre de 1992, es la obra más ambiciosa y vasta de Pasolini. Según todos los indicios, el escritor empezó a trabajar en esta novela en enero de 1967, y se dedico a ella, con creciente actividad, hasta el momento mismo de su muerte. Sus declaraciones no dejaban duda respecto a la importancia que atribuia al libro: Lo que he hecho desde que naci no es nada, en comparacion con la obra gigantesca que estoy llevando a cabo, decia en diciembre de 1974, y en enero de 1975 precisaba: Contiene todo lo que se, sera mi ultima obra. En la concepcion de Pasolini, Petroleo debia presentarse como la edicion critica de un texto inedito. Este libro inacabado y fragmentario ha hallado singular y tragico acomodo en las circunstancias que han rodeado su labor de edicion.

Petrosian was underrated as world champion in his day (many of his achievements were drowned out by the furore surrounding Bobby Fischer) but he is now being critically reappraised Garry Kasparov paid fulsome tribute to him at a recent London lecture. This insightful book aims to restore him to his rightful position in the pantheon of chess greats.
