We Want Everything by Nanni Balestrini

We Want Everything by Nanni Balestrini

Explosive novel of Italy's revolutionary 1969 by leading Italian novelist

In this fierce, compelling novel, Balestrini has found a way to individualise the universal, and universalise the individual, creating a document of the Italian labour struggles of the 1970s that has great value both as art and historyBalestrini becomes a channel for the working-class narrator, who stands for all the Southern masses who come north to the car factories to participate in the Italian 'economic miracle'. It's a book which charted a new course for fiction, one that deserves further exploration. -- Haru Kunzru, author of White Tears
A fine example of a literary use of expressions that were then burgeoning in factories and mass meetings, caught between student unrest and worker fury. -- Umberto Eco, author of The Name of the Rose
One of the best novels of the year . Nothing could seem further from or more relevant to our historical moment. * Chicago Tribune *
As demands arise again that echo the demands of the period-less work, more pay, more leisure, guaranteed income - We Want Everything sends a stirring reminder that these are not new demands, and that although it is a new generation rising to the challenge, it is the same fundamental struggle that continues * PopMatters *

Nanni Balestrini was born in Milan in 1935 and was a member of the influential avant-garde Gruppo 63, along with Umberto Eco. He is the author of numerous volumes of poetry and novels including Tristano and The Unseen.
