Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

5.0

When you set out to read a “Great Book,” you often feel a sense of pressure to appreciate it as a work of genius. You scrutinize every page, looking for it to validate your monumental expectations, and this can make the reading feel serious and inorganic. Even if you come away with a positive opinion, the experience is far from pleasurable. But Invisible Man refuses to be read this way. It is too delightful and weird and hilariously funny not to be enjoyed.
