Invisible Man (Modern Library) description
First published in 1952, Invisible Man revealed the pain of a black man's existence in a white world. It was shocking then, but remains important literature today. It is the story of a young man's journey--through the Deep South to the streets of Harlem, through events and experiences that range from tortured to macabre. As he moves through time, he learns about the black world, the white world, and a world of his own. His passage is a frightening but at the same time enlightening pilgrimage, for the Invisible Man and for all of us. |

Superb

This is a superb novel about a young black man trying to find his place in the world. It is filled with interesting characters and scenes and has a decent pace. I believe this book is more than about race: it applies to all people trying to form an identity for themselves. I have read some of the negative reviews, and quite a few of them seem to be from high school students. I think many of their points are valid, but I wonder if a little age and experience can make one look at this story in a different light. Perhaps this novel is better appreciated once we realize our dreams are greater than our abilities.
This particular edition has an introduction by the author that is of some interest. |
