![]() ![]() The many people that the hero meets in the course of his wanderings are remarkably various, complex and significant. It is a book that has a great deal to say and which is destined to have a great deal said about it.Īfter a brief prologue, the story begins with a terrifying experience of the hero's high school days, moves quickly to the campus of a Southern Negro college and then to New York's Harlem, where most of the action takes place. It is a strange story, in which many extraordinary things happen, some of them shocking and brutal, some of them pitiful and touching-yet always with elements of comedy and irony and burlesque that appear in unexpected places. Ralph Elllison's Invisible Man is a monumental novel, one that can well be called an epic of modern American Negro life. ![]() ![]() Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time ![]()
