La obra de Pier Paolo Pasolini conforma un archipiélago de poesías, relatos, ensayos, intervenciones, films y documentos que invitan a una constante indagación. Para quien quiera emprender un viaje de exploracion asi pueden ser de ayuda, al menos, un mapa y una brujula.En forma de alfabeto (que su autor entiende como un instrumento agil, sintetico, esencial), este libro ofrece conceptos y lemas (un mapa) y orientaciones criticas (una brujula) para entrar en la vasta y compleja produccion literaria y cinematografica pasoliniana. Al intentar trasladar el movimiento caracteristico de esa produccion (de una obra a otra, de un genero a otro, de una forma expresiva a otra distinta), pone al descubierto un andamiaje que crece con el tiempo, articulado en nociones como sagrado o muerte, en figuras como la del padre o imagenes como el cabello, la rosa, las luciernagas, el cuervo Un andamiaje que en su movilidad atraviesa y subvierte cualquier idea preconcebida.

"El cine de Icíar Bollaín tiene una marca propia, un cine social según la huella de Ken Loach, con quien colaboró en la película 'Tierra y libertad', una lucha anarquista contra la injusticia atemperada por un sabor agridulce, que siempre toca una fibra sensible, frente al iberismo racial, agrio y violento. Nunca engaña. El espectador sabe que va a ver cuando se acerca a la taquilla. La emigracion, los problemas de Latinoamerica, historias del tercer mundo, denuncias de la violencia machista. A Iciar la encuentras siempre detras de las camaras apuntando hacia causas justas, tocadas con una delicadeza acerada. Asi es tambien ella, una chica despierta, que sonrie con los ojos, que siempre emite un aire fresco, inteligente y divertido, con un toque de distincion" (Manuel Vicent).

El detenido de esta historia, al igual que Alfred Hitchcock, arrastra un trauma: el terror al sexo y a la Policía. Historia de un equívoco, el de la detención de un joven acusado de propaganda ilegal a finales de septiembre de 1975, hecho con el que arranca la novela. Inocente como se sabe, el temor a los interrogatorios de la Politico-Social presiden el relato de esta novela negra centrada en un sector de la juventud del final de la dictadura, sus ilusiones de cambio y expectativas personales cuyo ambiente recrea. Cronica social y politica de una epoca ademas de la historia de una pasion amorosa y una frustracion planteada a traves de cuatro personajes: el inspector de la BPS, y otros dos jovenes del circulo del detenido, un chico y una chica que han dinamitado convencionalismo s y tabues pe ro que siembran la sombra de la duda en el joven detenido en comisaria. Sin ser una obra cinefila, la historia presenta inevitables referencias con el cine en general y con Hitchcock ( y Bergman) en particular. Como era obligado, la novela presenta un final sorpresivo. Cine y Memoria democratica en un maridaje muy bien avenido.
