Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

5.0

“But deep down you come to suspect that you’re yourself to blame, and you stand naked and shivering before the millions of eyes who look through you unseeingly.”

second time reading this all the way through, and it still holds up as one of the best books i’ve ever read. no where else have i encountered a work of fiction so incredibly jammed with intense meaning and purpose in every detail paired with an unfolding of an incredible dream-like narrative that ultimately reveals the narrator’s eternal state. one of the most meaningful texts i’ve ever had the pleasure of encountering.
