Centennial Book Discussion: Invisible Man In-Person
The Centennial Book Discussion Group meets the last Wednesday of every month at 7 PM. Each month, from January 2024 until January 2025, we will be reading a classic work from a different decade. Registration is not required.
1950s: Invisible Man (1952), by Ralph Ellison
As he journeys from the Deep South to the streets and basements of Harlem, from a horrifying "battle royal" where Black men are reduced to fighting animals, to a Communist rally where they are elevated to the status of trophies, Ralph Ellison's nameless protagonist ushers readers into a parallel universe that throws our own into harsh and even hilarious relief. Suspenseful 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.
