Invisible Man
by Ralph Ellison
Wow... one of the most powerful and nuanced critiques of race and racial dynamics I've come across. I am so grateful it could come out in 1952 for so many to see. The idea of black identity existing against rather than independently of white identity, and the imminent need to thus create an independent identity, is very important. Also, the way the story blends reality with symbol is quite effective, as is its unique episodic structure and evocative prose. Would highly recommend!
