Ralph Ellisons blistering and impassioned first novel tells the extraordinary story of a man invisible simply because people refuse to see me. Published in 1952 when American society was in the cusp of immense change, the powerfully depicted adventures of Ellisons invisible man - from his expulsion from a Southern college to a terrifying Harlem race riot - go far beyond the story of one individual. As John Callahan says, In an extraordinary imaginative leap, he hit upon a single word for the different yet shared condition of African Americans, Americans, and, for that matter, the human individual in the twentieth century and beyond. n nThis edition includes Ralph Ellisons introduction to the thirtieth anniversary edition of Invisible Man, a fascinating account of the novels seven-year gestation.
