Ralph Ellison's 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 on the cusp of immense change, the powerfully depicted adventures of Ellison's invisible man - from his expulsion from a Southern college to a terrifying Harlem race riot - go far beyond the story of one individual to give voice to the experience of an entire generation of African-Americans.

Biographie de Ralph Ellison

Ralph Waldo Ellison (1914-94) was born in Oklahoma. In 1936 he went to New York, where he met the writers Langston Hughes and Richard Wright ; shortly afterwards his stories and articles began to appear in magazines and journals. His debut novel, Invisible Man (1952), won the National Book Award and established Ellison as a major figure in twentieth-century fiction. John Callahan was born in Meriden, Connecticut.
He is Morgan S. Odell Professor of Humanities at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. His books include The Illusions of a Nation and In the African-American Grain. He is the editor of the Modern Library edition of The Collected Essays of Ralph Ellison, Flying Home and Other Stories and Juneteenth, and is literary executor of Ralph Ellisons estate.
