Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Was there a theme or meaning you wanted us to talk about further? Let us know in the comments below! The short story "Battle Royal" is actually an early version that went through minimal edits to become chapter 1 of Ralph Ellison's seminal work "Invisible Man". Let's talk about the themes and how the narrator's reference to Booker T. Washington may lead us to some thoughts on how to interpret this piece.
