Ralph Waldo Ellison, who was born in 1914 in Oklahoma published "Invisible Man" in 1952. The novel traces the life of a young Negro trying to find himself as an individual as well as in relation to his race and society. The Opening lines are immortal: "I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids---and I might even he said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simple because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it as a though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. . . " The novel won the 1952 National Book Award and is often listed as one of the five best African-American novels of all time. 454 pages. I offer Combined shipping.
