Invisible Man

By Ralph Ellison

About this book

An unnamed Black narrator leaves the South after his education and eventually becomes a speaker in a political organization in Harlem. Again and again, institutions welcome him for a role they have already decided he should play. From an underground room, he reconsiders these encounters in a voice that moves from satire to grief and back again.
