Ralph Waldo Ellison (March 1, 1914[a] – April 16, 1994) was an American novelist, literary critic, and scholar. Ellison is best known for his novel Invisible Man, which won the National Book Award in 1953. He also wrote Shadow and Act (1964), a collection of political, social and critical essays, and Going to the Territory (1986). For The New York Times, the best of these essays in addition to the novel put him "among the gods of America's literary Parnassus." A posthumous novel, Juneteenth, was published after being assembled from voluminous notes he left upon his death.
Invisible Man is a milestone in American literature, a book that has continued to engage readers since its appearance in 1952.A first novel by an unknown writer, it remained on the bestseller list for sixteen weeks, won the National Book Award for fiction, and established Ralph Ellison as one of the key writers of the century.The nameless narrator of the novel describes growing up in a black community in the South, attending a Negro college from which he is expelled, moving to New York and becoming the chief spokesman of the Harlem branch of "the Brotherhood", and retreating amid violence and confusion to the basement lair of the Invisible Man he imagines himself to be.The book is a passionate and witty tour de force of style, strongly influenced by T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land , Joyce, and Dostoevsky.
I read it when I was a graduate student. The experience of the protagonist seems to belong to a lot modern people. When you are invisible, what will you do?

评分看到这样的小说,但想到现在报导的新闻,觉得真是个很奇怪的事,对于美国黑人地位的评价,甚至有许多人说出了“黑命贵”的话语。当然我内心是明白的,这所谓的“黑命贵”只是统治阶级有意造成的。毕竟对于剥削阶级来说,肤色、种族、性别、年龄都是无所谓的,都是为其创造剩余...
评分读这本书时,我一直带着一个疑问,为什么他是看不见的人?本书深刻地描写了50年代黑人和白人之间深刻的矛盾。 青年时,他意气风发,诚实正直,也是一名成绩优秀的好学生,却因顺应白人主顾的想法而得罪了白人主顾,被学校永久开除。作为补偿,倍受社会歧视的黑人校长答应给他介...
评分本文通过<Invisible Man>, <Mumbo Jumbo>和威廉布莱克的作品,从存在主义的角度分析爵士和布鲁斯的概念。 In a deep song voice with a melancholy tone I heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan – “Ain’t got nobody in all this world, Ain’t got nobody but ma ...
