;X-APPLE-RADIUS=10;X-TITLE=Virtual:geo:38.8122835,-77.1171899 GEO:38.8122835;-77.1171899 DESCRIPTION:In honor of Black History Month\, we will be discussing the 19 52 classic novel\, "Invisible Man\," by Ralph Ellison..\nhttps://alexandri a.libnet.info/event/10208981 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

First published in 1952 and immediately ha iled as a masterpiece\, "Invisible Man" is one of those rare novels that h ave changed the shape of American literature. For not only does Ralph Elli son's nightmare journey across the racial divide tell unparalleled truths about the nature of bigotry and its effects on the minds of both victims a nd perpetrators\, it gives us an entirely new model of what a novel can be . As he journeys from the Deep South to the streets and basements of Harle m\, from a horrifying "battle royal" where black men are reduced to fighti ng animals\, to a Communist rally where they are elevated to the status of trophies\, Ralph Ellison's nameless protagonist ushers readers into a par allel universe that throws our own into harsh and even hilarious relief. S uspenseful and sardonic\, narrated in a voice that takes in the symphonic range of the American language\, black and white\, "Invisible Man" is one of the most audacious and dazzling novels of our century.
