Compiled, edited, and newly revised by Ralph Ellison’s literary executor, John F. Callahan, this Modern Library Paperback Classic includes posthumously discovered reviews, criticism, and interviews, as well as the essay collections Shadow and Act (1964), hailed by Robert Penn Warren as "a body of cogent and subtle commentary on the questions that focus on race," and Going to the Territory (1986), an exploration of literature and folklore, jazz and culture, and the nature and quality of lives that black Americans lead. "Ralph Ellison," wrote Stanley Crouch, "reached across race, religion, class and sex to make us all Americans."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Ralph Ellison

Ralph Ellison nasceu na cidade de Oklahoma (EUA), em 1914. Estudou música no Tuskegee Institute, mudou-se para Nova Iorque em 1936 e viveu em Harlem até à sua morte, em 1994. Tinha 80 anos.
Homem Invisível, o seu romance de estreia e único publicado em vida do autor, foi distinguido com o importante National Book Award, ao mesmo tempo que o consagrava como um dos mais importantes e influentes romancistas do século XX. O seu segundo romance, Juneteenth, só seria publicado postumamente. Escreveu, no entanto, numerosos ensaios e contos, como Shadow and Act, Going to the Territory e Flying Home and Other Stories.
Em 1975, foi eleito membro da American Academy of Arts and Letters, tendo sido distinguido, dez anos depois, com a National Medal of Arts.
