Ralph Ellison’s blistering, impassioned novel of African-American lives in 1940s America, Invisible Man.

‘I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.’ Defeated and embittered by a country which treats him as a non-being, the ‘invisible man’ retreats into an underground cell, where he smokes, drinks, listens to jazz and recounts his search for identity in white society: as an optimistic student in the Deep South, in the north with the black activist group the Brotherhood, and in the Harlem race riots.
