Summary: Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
Comment: Despite the book's overt schism of black/white relations, it delves into history, overall, in a much deeper sense. This book is wonderfully cultivated with the history of literature and its various canons. The allusions are vast, covering the ancients up to Ellison's day (at the point of completion--late 50's). It is clear, however, that the transcendalists writers (Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Melville, Hawthorne), as well as Joycean stylism are deeply embedded in Ellison's brilliant techniques in the book. More importantly, Ellison's has created this book as a teaching tool of great Black Leaders, such as Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglass, Marcus Garvey, as well as other African-American significances of past. In short, the invisible man's nameless character represents his inexistence and trampled upon character as a black man enraptured in a darwinian duel, fighting his way through his naivete against his oppressors, which happens to be blacks and whites in the big Apple--New York City. I highly recommend this book to all Americans, as it is highly placed not just in African-American literature, but literature, in general. It takes a very close reading, perhaps twice to envelope its marvelous reign among all novels.

Summary: Review of - Invisible Man
Comment: Start with the title- Invisible Man. Not "The Invisbible Man," but Invisible Man. Even with our main character's attempts at being visible (i.e. the light company, the various soci-political orgainzations) he still wound up invisible, miserable in some cold, dank basement.
