Things not seen clements

Clements cranks up the stress with an ensuing traffic accident that puts both parents into the hospital, and, as weeks pass, the increasingly persistent attentions of the governmental child-welfare machine. But boredom, worry, and the mutinous thought that he should have some say in the matter soon lead him into a string of adventurous outings, both wrapped up Invisible Man–style, and stark naked. His equally flummoxed parents, quickly grasping the personal and social dangers should the news get out, urge him to hole up at home. Fifteen-year-old Bobby wakes up invisible one morning. Clements ( The Jacket, above, etc.) looks beyond grade school for the first time with a multifaceted rumination on selfhood and various forms of invisibility.
