| Notes | a memoir of the author's time spent in exile in Lucania, Italy, after being arrested in connection with his political activism. "The title of the book comes from an expression by the people of 'Gagliano' who say of themselves, 'Christ stopped short of here, at Eboli' which means, in effect, that they feel they have been bypassed by Christianity, by morality, by history itself—that they have somehow been excluded from the full human experience."
