Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison (9780375407178)

Description - Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

First published in 1952 and immediately hailed as a masterpiece, "Invisible Man" is one of those rare novels that has changed the shape of American literature. As he journeys from the Deep South to the streets and basements of Harlem, from a horrifying "battle royal" where black men are reduced to fighting animals to a Communist rally where they are elevated to the status of trophies, Ralph Ellison's nameless protagonist ushers listeners into a parallel universe that throws our own into harsh and even hilarious relief. Suspenseful, sardonic, and narrated in a voice that takes in the symphonic range of the American language, both black and white. Abridged.
