Description
The Unseen by Nanni Balestrini In 1970s Italy, a brief but intense movement known as Autonomy emerged among young people and the unemployed. This "politics of refusal" united its followers in a quest for radical change. Nanni Balestrini, who experienced repression firsthand, has created a powerful novel to capture the hopes and conflicts of this pivotal moment. Through the eyes of a working-class protagonist, The Unseen recounts Autonomy's trajectory, from high-school rebellion to squatting, attempts to set up a free radio station, and the brutal realities of imprisonment. This gripping novel is a rare evocation of the intensity of commitment and the passion of politics. A remarkable work of fiction, The Unseen offers a unique perspective on one of Italy's most significant social movements.
