In the early 1990s, a young writer works at the Pier Paolo Pasolini Fund in Rome, gathering the interviews of the legendary Italian director and writer while enduring the constant insults of his boss Laura Betti, La Loca, a great friend and fetish actress of Pasolini The Madwoman, now with more kilos and disorders than when the Italian genius was still alive, has become the guardian of the legacy of his friend and idol.But obsessed with Pasolini's latest and unfinished novel, Oil, the young writer relegates the tasks that Betti has entrusted to him and immerses himself fully in that heterogeneous and fascinating set of texts that can only be defined as "something written".

  Winner of the European Union Literature Prize, Emanuele Trevi's novel is in constant dialogue with Petróleo, giving us a peculiar and intense journey through the life and work of Pasolini from different perspectives. We see it from the unusual point of view of the Loca, we analyze his art through the stupefied admiration of the young writer and we know the strange circumstances that surrounded his murder in 1975. Something written is a very unique narrative artifact that takes us from the streets of Rome to Greece, and that unites its power of seduction to the aura of Oil, Pasolini and Laura Betti to create one of those books that, as Trevi himself says, "are no longer made."
