The explosive novel of Italy’s revolutionary 1969 It was 1969, and temperatures were rising across the factories of the north as workers demanded better pay and conditions. Soon, discontent would erupt in what became known as Italy’s Hot Autumn. A young worker from the impoverished south arrives at Fiat’s Mirafiori factory in Turin, where his darker complexion begins to fade from the fourteen-hour workdays in sweltering industrial heat. His bosses try to withhold his wages. Our cynical, dry-witted narrator will not bend to their will. “I want everything, everything that’s owed to me,” he tells them. “Nothing more and nothing less, because you don’t mess with me.” Around him, students are holding secret meetings and union workers begin halting work on the assembly lines, crippling the Mirafiori factory with months of continuous strikes. Before long, barricades line the roads, tear gas wafts into private homes, and the slogan “We Want Everything” is ringing through the streets. Wrought in spare and measured prose, Balestrini’s novel depicts an explosive uprising. Introduced by Rachel Kushner, the author of the best-selling The Flamethrowers, We Want Everything is the incendiary fictional account of events that led to a decade of revolt.

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.

An anthology of poems by trans writers that explores the relationship between explicitly political desires and the formal inventions possible to enact or imagine those desires.Who is writing formally exciting, explicitly political poetry right now? Editors, Andrea Abi-Karam and Kay Gabriel bring together contributions by an intergenerational constellation of radical trans writers to both answer this question and enable writing in these modes. Writing in dialogue with emancipatory political movements, against capital, racism, empire, borders, prisons, ecological devastation; the writers here imagine an altogether different, overturned world in poems that pursue the particular and multiple trans relationships to desire, embodiment, housing, sex, ecology, history, pop culture and the working day. The editors offer this anthology as an experiment: how far can literature written and/or collected from an identitarian standpoint go as a fellow traveler with social movements and revolutionary demands?

Noise is usually defined as unwanted sound: loud music from a neighbor, the honk of a taxicab, the roar of a supersonic jet. But as Garret Keizer illustrates in this probing examination, noise is as much about what we want as about what we seek to avoid. In a journey that leads us from the primeval Tanzanian veldt to wind farms in Maine, Keizer invites us to listen to noise in history, in popular culture, and not least of all in our own backyards. He follows noise throughout history and across the globe. He considers what it has to tell us about today's most pressing issues, from social inequality to climate change. The result is guaranteed to change how we hear the world, and how we measure our own personal volume within it.

He's tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back.

Sir Ludwig Wittgenstein said, 'the real question of life after death isn't whether or not it exists, but even if it does what problem this really solves.' Does life assuredly have any logic? Needless to say, yes, because if life is a logical sequence, then we can definitely think about it clearly & deeply to perceive the extreme details to live it with great intensity. Humans have been learning life lessons for ages but is the learning enough to experience an exceptional life? We feel when time is passed; nothing is left and then we experience the guilt of not having more time when we realise, we had to live life with great intensity when we were learning & chasing the life lessons but what we were really doing; attached, crying and mourning over the things, events and people. Remember, you can think great but great thinking doesn't change the absolute truth. We can push truth a little ahead but can't entirely disappear it from our lives forever. Do you want the best life or the life you heartily want? Most people are confused on what they really want! Why I'm saying this is because your dream life is hidden in what you really seek, not in what is best. Do you want to understand where your dream life is hidden? Is really something missing in our lives? Suppose we are on the death bed and are taking the last breaths of our lives, what would we really care? Do you know, what people are scared of death? How You Can Actually Accept your Life! Do we really need to have a lot of money to become peaceful? Can only money give us the best pleasure in this world? What if we realise this fast and live our lives as we actually dream of? How to Discover the Absolute Truth! Will you ever get your time back even after the realization? Are you really happy with what you are doing even if you are getting billions from it? Will you choose it for your last day? Will the satisfaction hit us the same when we reach the place we want to be? Are you living your life on your own terms without hurting anyone? How you can fulfil yourself as a True Soul. How Often do You Love Yourself? How much you are truly living for your own soul. What's the cost of peace? What's the cost of being kind? What's the cost of being in love? How to find the universal or absolute truth for life. What is your dream life exactly? Ask yourself! What are your end desires? The body knows intelligence and satisfaction but the soul understands energy, emotions, truth and vibes. What you are ignoring or healing temporarily today, will surely attack you tomorrow with more intensity and pain. What if I say, if you constantly seek nothing and undertake what is right, you can get your dream life soon. Nothing is far behind and nothing is too ahead. We all are on our time. There's no race. If you don't love climbing, you will fall soon from the edges. Extreme failures can be accepted in the work you truly worship.
