      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.

Book Description

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 passionate and witty tour de force of style, strongly influenced by T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, Joyce, and Dostoevsky.
