Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Radical movements in all political systems decline. What is intriguing in the case of the 60s in America is how these retreats are conceptualized. This essay focuses on a single form: novels that contain portraits of radicals who were involved in violent acts and who write from the “underground.” The examination of these radical acts, in extremis, is a vivid structure of recollection for the protagonists, who having by definition exited from the broader society, represent the most vulnerable line of defense of radicalism. In this context, there are two distinct narratives in these (re)imaginings of the Sixties. One, full of regrets and excuses, replicates the interpretations of radical retreats in general. The other, surprisingly optimistic and consoling, embraces the promise of a liberal society. Is it possible that an examination of these exits provides a key to the general instability of the radical tradition in the context of a liberal society? In other words, do even efforts to preserve a degree of remembrance for radical projects create structures that authorize their failure?
