Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel

Zondervan, 1986

Review of set, not specific volume
Let me start by saying that I have owned the full 12-volume set for about a year and use it quite frequently as a resource. To be fair, I have yet to use this particular volume. However, as there seem to be no competent reviews on the set as a whole, I did want to ...

Invisible Man
Ralph Ellison

Vintage, 1989

Intensity for the Black Experience in America
I'm a white guy who just finished reading "Invisible Man." This is a classic work of 20th century American literature. The narrator of the novel, told in first person, is never named. What a concept! After all, he's invisible, right? This young black man starts ...

Invisible Man

University Press of Mississippi, 1995

Absolutely Essential
First off: I am biased: Ellison is one of my Literary Fathers. Invisible Man tremendously impacted me and my Art. These interviews are priceless because they allow us a limited, but valuable, peak behind the Mr. Ellison's Idealogical curtain; where we can clearly see ...
  
  











  



  
Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man (Barron's Book Notes)
Ralph Ellison, Anthony S. Abbott

Barron's Educational Series, 1985

Ellison: A Master of Words
I truly believe that Ellison's condensed prose is one of the best novels I have ever written. If a person says that they do not enjoy this book, it is because they are bad readers who completely missed all the motifs, foils, and statements that Ellison says with this ...
