A classic from the moment it first appeared in 1952, Invisible Man chronicles the travels of its narrator, a young, nameless black man, as he moves through the hellish levels of American intolerance and cultural blindness. Searching for a context in which to know himself, he exists in a very peculiar state. "I am an invisible man," he says in his prologue. "When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination--indeed, everything and anything except me." Invisible Man is more than just a book about race, it is also a book about humanity stumbling down the path to identity
This Literature to Life presentation of The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison is made by special arrangement with The American Place Theatre.
