E' una sorta di "Ulisse" afro-americano, un libro essenziale per comprendere l'esperienza da cui nasce il jazz e il jazz stesso con le sue autocensure e i suoi linguaggi cifrati. L'introduzione ritmata da Black and Blue eseguito da Louis Armstrong dà la chiave di un romanzo esistenziale commentato da tutte le forme della musica nera di cui Ellison, che voleva fare il musicista, aveva esperienza diretta. Memorabile l'incontro con Peetie Wheatstraw, the Devil's Son in Law. Dato che l'edizione italiana nella ottima traduzione Einaudi non è reperibile, val la pena di far lo sforzo e leggerlo nell'originale.
