Is Invisible Man the Great American Novel?


Listen Later

Recently for our book club we read Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. Originally published in the 1950s, it's considered a classic of American literature, though it rarely makes the rounds in most online book spaces these days. In this episode we do a deep dive on the only novel Ellison saw published in his lifetime.Join our book club!patreon.com/LifeonBooksJoin the Life on Books mailing list to stay up to date on all of our latest book giveaways, projects, and more!https://linktw.in/BRYAnVhWant to read one book from every country?
