Swans' Past Commentaries: Excerpt From Invisible Man, By Ralph Ellison
A small excerpt and a small biography.
http://www.swans.com/library/art6/xxx042.html

Extractions: Ralph Waldo Ellison [1914-1994] achieved international fame with Invisible Man, written in 1952. According to its publisher, Random House, Incorporated, " 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 witty tour de force of style, strongly influenced by T.S. Eliot's
Review Of Invisible Man By Ralph Ellison
A short review of the book.
http://www.dougshaw.com/Reviews/review19.html

Extractions: The following may seem off the subject, but it's not. I've read a lot of books by women, starting in elementary school with Betty Brock and the goddess Beverly Cleary, and going through Ursula Le Guin, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Mary Shelley, Emily Dickinson, Agatha Christie, Yoko Ono, Anais Nin, Gwendolyn Brooks, Gertrude Stein, Ayn Rand, Laurie Anderson, Emma Goldman (by or about her, I don't remember), etc. There were many more; I never used to pay attention to the author when I read books. The point is that all of these female authors wrote very differently. It would be ridiculous to group them all together and say, "Hey, look! I was reading 'Women's Literature' getting the 'female perspective' " because these women's books didn't have much in common. Ayn Rand (who, by the way, was left off of several lists of "women authors" that I've seen) has a whole different set of beliefs and obsessions than the goddess Beverly Cleary, for example. (When I went to college, several of my colleagues took women's studies courses, and rhetoric courses that were really women's studies courses, and were told that high schools never assign books with woman authors and that young people, particularly males, are never exposed to these authors. At least from my experience, this was untrue.)

Extractions: Ralph Ellison's 'Juneteenth' is too incomplete for publication By J. Douglas Allen-Taylor ARE AMERICAN publishers gradually running out of material from living authors? You'd think so, wouldn't you, from the industry's willingness seek out projects from the archives of writers who are now deceased. Off the top of my head I can think of several in the past couple of years: Louise May Alcott's A Long Fatal Love Chase , Jeff Shaara's Gods and Generals and The Last Full Measure , and Ernest Hemingway's True at First Light Each project had its own particular problem. Love Chase was a woeful early effort that was rejected in the author's lifetimeand should have been. Shaara's weak Gods and Measure were written as, respectively, a prequel and a sequel to his late father Michael's marvelous The Killer Angels , which, frankly, needed neither. Hemingway's son, Patrick, decided to rewrite and publish, under his father's name, a First Light manuscript that Papa himself had originally deemed unfit for public consumption.

Juneteenth: A Novel By Ralph Ellison
Review.
http://www.ashbrook.org/books/ellison.html

Extractions: Ashbrook Center. In Washington, D.C., in the 1950s, Adam Sunraider, a race-baiting senator from a New England state, is mortally wounded by an assassin's bullet while making a speech on the Senate floor. To the shock of all who think they know him, Sunraider calls out from his deathbed for Hickman, an old black minister, to be brought to his side. The Reverend is summoned; the two are left alone. Out of their conversation, and the inner rhythms of memories whose weight has been borne in silence for many long years, a story emerges. For this United States senator, once known as Bliss, was raised by Reverend Hickman in a religion-and music-steeped black community not unlike Ralph Ellison's own childhood home.

Extractions: ELLISON, Ralph Invisible Man NY, Random House, (1952). His first book, winner of the National Book Award and one of the most celebrated African-American novels of all time. In a poll conducted in 1965, 200 critics, authors and editors judged Invisible Man to be "the most distinguished single work" published in the previous 20 years. A high spot of 20th century American literature both a classic of African-American fiction and a book that transcends such a racial identification to stand as a literary landmark on its own terms. Fine in a fine dust jacket with two tiny creases near mid-spine and a bit of rubbing on the front flap fold, but still one of the nicest copies we have ever seen of this book, given a dark dust jacket that shows wear very readily. From the collection of Bruce Kahn. SOLD All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.

Juneteenth And True At First Light
A review in goodreports.net.
http://www.goodreports.net/reviews/juneteenth.htm

Extractions: By Ernest Hemingway Celebrated writers are well advised to plan in advance what they want done with their literary remains. As evidence of what can happen, for good and ill, this summer sees the posthumous publication of two works by American masters. Ralph Ellison was American literature's greatest one-hit wonder (and you have to admit there have been a few). Invisible Man , published in 1952, is probably the best American novel written since the Second World War, but it was the only novel he ever finished. For 40 years he tried to write another, filling binders, filing cabinets, and computer disks with manuscript and notes. But when he died in 1994 he had still not found a way to make it cohere. What John Callahan, Ellison's editor and literary executor, has managed to put together is the second volume of a projected trilogy. The two main characters are Senator Adam Sunraider, a race-baiting politician from a northern state, and the Reverend Alonzo Hickman, a black Baptist minister from the south. After Sunraider is shot while giving a speech on the Senate floor, he calls for Hickman from his deathbed. Together, the two of them reconstruct the past through a series of memory riffs played in keys ranging from high oratory to the colloquial. As we travel back in time, we learn of Sunraider's past as a wandering Mr. Movie-Man, and his childhood as the boy-preacher Bliss, working the circuit with his adopted father, Daddy Hickman.

http://www.readinggroupguides.com/guides_J/juneteenth1.asp

Extractions: From Ralph Ellisonauthor of the classic novel of African-American experience, Invisible Manthe long-awaited second novel. Here is the master of American vernacularthe rhythms of jazz and gospel and ordinary speechat the height of his powers, telling a powerful, evocative tale of a prodigal of the twentieth century. "Tell me what happened while there's still time," demands the dying Senator Adam Sunraider to the itinerate Negro preacher whom he calls Daddy Hickman. As a young man, Sunraider was Bliss, an orphan taken in by Hickman and raised to be a preacher like himself. Bliss's history encompasses the joys of young southern boyhood; bucolic days as a filmmaker, lovemaking in a field in the Oklahoma sun. And behind it all lies a mystery: how did this chosen child become the man who would deny everything to achieve his goals? Brilliantly crafted, moving, wise, Juneteenth is the work of an American master. top of the page The first chapter, in which Hickman and his followers come to Washington, employs a fairly clear and traditional narrative style. Chapter Two, on the other hand, is experimental, even surreal, in its stream-of-consciousness presentation of events. It places the reader in the midst of things and causes a certain sense of bewilderment which is only laid to rest upon reading through the novel. What is the effect, as you read, of Ellison's presentation of his characters' shifting thoughts, and the movements from past to present in the consciousness of his characters?

Ralph Ellison: Poet Of Democratic Excellence By James Seaton
An Article from On Principle, v4n3 June 1996 by James Seaton.
http://www.ashbrook.org/publicat/onprin/v4n3/seaton.html

Extractions: The publication of The Collected Essays of Ralph Ellison (with a preface by Saul Bellow, Modern Library) recalls the author of Invisible Man as one of the pre-eminent essayists of our time, and, furthermore, as author of some of the most searching reflections available on the implications of political democracy for culture. Today many argue that true democracy requires the leveling of hierarchies in culture as well as in society. The very notion of "literature" is rejected as inherently undemocratic and probably phallocentric. In his two earlier collections, Shadow and Act and Going to the Territory , (both included in The Collected Essays ) as well as in the other essays and addresses, some previously unpublished and collected in this volume for the first time, Ellison makes the case that high standards of artistic excellence are central to a truly democratic culture. Ellison�s affirmation of the importance of the "sacred documents" for writers in particular responds to Henry James�s famous lament about the difficulties that the lack of traditions and social hierarchies in American life presents for the novelist. Ellison argues that if life in the United States lacks the continuity and social coherence dramatized in European fiction, we have something else: "The moral imperatives of American life that are implicit in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights...form the ground of assumptions upon which our social values rest...they provide the broadest frame of reference for our most private dramas."
Lives Well Lived: Ralph Ellison; Prescience, In Black And White
An Article published at January 1st, 1995 in the New York Times by Roger Rosenblatt.
http://partners.nytimes.com/books/99/06/20/specials/ellison-lives.html

Extractions: Lives Well Lived: Ralph Ellison; Prescience, In Black and White By ROGER ROSENBLATT he critic Cyril Connolly once defined a classic as a book still read a decade after it is published. Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man," which won the National Book Award in 1953, was instantly recognized as a masterpiece, a novel that captured the grim realities of racial discrimination as no book had. Its reputation grew as Ellison retreated into a mythic literary silence that made his one achievement definitive. Only the faintest tremor of warning prevented me from responding, "And I am the King of Siam." The man on the telephone had begun: "Mr. Rosenblatt? I'm Ralph Ellison." Friends of mine pull pranks like that. As it happened, it was Ralph Ellison. He was calling to correct something I had written about "Invisible Man" in a book. This was 1973. The book was called "Black Fiction," and my publisher had sent Ellison an early copy. In my comments on "Invisible Man," I had done my best to figure out the literary values of the novel: theme, characters, images the conventional stuff that is supposed to be noted by a dutiful young teacher of literature. "But what you did not say, Mr. Rosenblatt," Ellison told me with polite Southern severity, "is that the novel itself is a social document. That the Invisible Man writes a story at all makes a social statement." I asked him: "But haven't you always argued that if black American writing only made social statements, it wouldn't be taken seriously as literature?"
