Ralph Ellison
"I am an invisible man. No, i am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am i one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. i am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids--and i might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me."
Ralph Ellison, The Invisible Man
So begins Ralph Ellison's major work of his lifetime. The Invisible Man shows the struggle of a young African-American in a prejudiced society, but more importantly it shows every person's struggle for identity and self-worth.
