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.

A classic of African American literature. The writing is so beautiful and raw I could barely stand it.

- Just not in the mood for a southern bigotry novel and the damage done to people. Didn’t read much of it.
