New York, NY New American Library: Signet Books, 1966. Paperback First Edition Thus [1966]; First Printing, so stated. First Edition Thus [1966]; First Printing, so stated. Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; mildest rubbing; faint toning and light but pervasive soiling to the wrapper covers; two very faint creases at the front panel and the first few pages also shows faint crease near the upper front corner; the pages have tanned ever so slightly, due to aging. Binding square and secure; text clean. Structurally sound and tightly bound, remains, despite a number of minor flaws, remarkably close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. 302pp. Mass Market Paperback. With the same intellectual incisiveness and supple, stylish prose he brought to his classic novel Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison examines his antecedents and in so doing illuminates the literature, music, and culture of both black and white America. His range is virtuosic, encompassing Mark Twain and Richard Wright, Mahalia Jackson and Charlie Parker, The Birth of a Nation and the Dante-esque landscape of Harlemthe scene and symbol of the Negros perpetual alienation in the land of his birth. Throughout, he gives us what amounts to an episodic autobiography that traces his formation as a writer as well as the genesis of Invisible Man. On every page, Ellison reveals his idiosyncratic and often contrarian brilliance, his insistence on refuting both black and white stereotypes of what an African American writer should say or be. The result is a book that continues to instruct, delight, and occasionally outrage readers.
