About This Book
Invisible Man is a milestone in American literature, a book that has
continued to engage readers since its appearance in 1952. A first novel
by an unknown writer, it remained on the bestseller list for sixteen
weeks, won the National Book Award for fiction, and established Ralph
Ellison as one of the key writers of the century. The nameless narrator
of the novel describes growing up in a black community in the South,
attending a Negro college from which he is expelled, moving to New York
and becoming the chief spokesman of the Harlem branch of "the
Brotherhood", and retreating amid violence and confusion to the basement
lair of the Invisible Man he imagines himself to be. The book is a
passionate and witty tour de force of style, strongly influenced by T.S.
Eliot's The Waste Land, Joyce, and Dostoevsky.
