He is a German who bounces around various revolutionary groups during the explosion of social conflict that takes place during the Reformation. The protagonist, who goes by various names throughout the book, is known most frequently as Gert-From-The-Well. The book centers around two characters and is structured like a spy novel. The sequel to “Q” has just been translated from the Italian to English and been released, so it is worth revisiting the original novel, published in 2000, to remember why exciting works of fiction like “Q” should be a priority for Wobblies to check out. “Q,” the novel by a collective of radical Italians who used to publish under the name Luther Blissett and now go by Wu Ming, is a great adventure story that also packs a political wallop. But a contentious medieval Europe is the backdrop for one of the best pieces of historical fiction that Wobblies should really pay attention to. Most people think about the Protestant Reformation about as frequently as they think about sitting down to do their taxes, if not even less. Boston: Mariner Books, 2005 (reprint edition).
