具体描述
Ralph Elllison's Invisible Man is a monumental novel, one that can well be called an epic of modern American Negro life. It is a strange story, in which many extraordinary things happen, some of them shocking and brutal, some of them pitiful and touching--yet always with elements of comedy and irony and burlesque that appear in unexpected places. It is a book that has a great deal to say and which is destined to have a great deal said about it.
After a brief prologue, the story begins with a terrifying experience of the hero's high school days, moves quickly to the campus of a Southern Negro college and then to New York's Harlem, where most of the action takes place. The many people that the hero meets in the course of his wanderings are remarkably various, complex and significant. With them he becomes involved in an amazing series of adventures, in which he is sometimes befriended but more often deceived and betrayed--as much by himself and his own illusions as by the duplicity of the blindness of others.
Invisible Man is not only a great triumph of storytelling and characterization; it is a profound and uncompromising interpretation of the Negro's anomalous position in American society.

作者简介
Ralph Waldo Ellison (March 1, 1914[a] – April 16, 1994) was an American novelist, literary critic, and scholar. Ellison is best known for his novel Invisible Man, which won the National Book Award in 1953. He also wrote Shadow and Act (1964), a collection of political, social and critical essays, and Going to the Territory (1986). For The New York Times, the best of these essays in addition to the novel put him "among the gods of America's literary Parnassus." A posthumous novel, Juneteenth, was published after being assembled from voluminous notes he left upon his death.

读后感
读了一学期的Invisinle Man，给个交代吧。不想写内容，越看文献越觉得写啥都是对自己无知和缺乏理解能力的展示，所以机智地扯两句阅读感受。 第一遍读其实看的是中文版+关键段落的英文版（给自己找来彼时还睡在地上，没有桌子，没选上课的借口????），读的时候脑子里时常出现...
评分 评分本文通过<Invisible Man>, <Mumbo Jumbo>和威廉布莱克的作品，从存在主义的角度分析爵士和布鲁斯的概念。 In a deep song voice with a melancholy tone I heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan – “Ain’t got nobody in all this world, Ain’t got nobody but ma ...

用户评价
三天半看完，有些仓促。又是一名凭借一本长篇名垂青史的作家。一个被思想奴化的南方大学生被迫北上闯荡Harlem，最终对一切都幻灭，选择冬眠1.自白式叙事手法，癫狂真挚吸引人 2.关于非裔的生存困境和选择 3.brotherhood的政治现实意义和ellison对左翼的态度转变 （这一点导写了篇非常有考据意义的文章）4.超越了非裔作家为社会政治抗议而书写的非裔文学传统，写了一个美国身份的人经历了美国梦的陨落，以及黑人群体内部的分裂和问题5. the king of bingo game是它的rehearsal 6.特别喜欢这本书的书面，两个i消失了，点名了非裔身份的危机
评分Ellison's Invisible Man forms an interesting comparative reading with Wright's Native Son, though I prefer the former one. The language runs so smoothly like an exquisite music. Why am I so blue?!
