For a brief explosive period in the mid-1970s, the young and the
unemployed of Italy's cities joined the workers in an unexpectedly
militant movement known simply as Autonomy ("Autonomia"). Its
"politics of refusal" united its opponents behind draconian
measures more severe than any seen since the war.
Nanni Balestrini, the poet of youth rebellion, himself a victim of
that repression, has invented a remarkable fictional form to
express the hopes and conflicts of the movement. In spare but vivid
prose, The Unseen follows Autonomy's trajectory through the eyes of
a single working-class protagonist--from high-school rebellion,
squatting and attempts to set up a free radio station to arrest and
the brutalities of imprisonment. This is a powerful and gripping
novel: a rare evocation of the intensity of commitment, the passion
of politics.
