On the Lower Frequencies: A Secret History of the City
By Eric Lyle
5.5" by 8.25" 270 pages
Lyle's Secret History traces the evolution of cities, for sure, and of neighborhoods, and of dissent, but also of his own thinking under the pressure of experience, from his early focus on the more outre forms of resistance, through more contemplative phases as he becomes preoccupied with the passage of time and starts to articulate an affirmative vision of the type of society he'd like to live in and fight for. In writing, for example, on Reagan's death he feels relief that came from realizing that by the time Reagan had actually died, his teenage rage had ceased being the motivating factor in his life, that what keeps him going is the sense of what he wishes the world actually looked like -- rampant public art, vibrant squats, free breakfast programs, guerilla peace demos, and unofficial punk holidays on which people gather and do a Secret Santa exchange of mix-tapes.
