Summary:

Compelling story of an anonymous black man who experiences a variety of adventures in the South and later in New York City during a fervent quest for personal identity and social visibility.

Contents:

In the course of his wanderings from a Southern Negro college to New York's Harlem, an American black man becomes involved in a series of adventures. Introduction explains circumstances under which the book was written. Ellison won the National Book Award for this searing record of a black man's journey through contemporary America. Unquestionably, Ellison's book is a work of extraordinary intensity

powerfully imagined and written with a savage, wryly humorous gusto.
