Why do I never hear about Ellison here? Chime in /lit/.

because we are /pol/ /lit/ /u/ /c/ /a/ -l

I'm redpilled, kid.

I think you know what I think. You probably feel the same deep down

its not that great. if you want minority points read Baldwin, he gay as well as black and actually has good books

>>8523472
Cause /lit/ only talks about like 10 books and this isnt one of them probably because it triggers our growing population of /pol/ immigrants.

It is great tho one of my favorites

It isn't about blackness, at least not only. Invisible Man is about a black man, but from what I understand that's just a frame he works with to speak about the human condition more generally.

This is a ridiculously good book. IMO.

It critics identify politics and the self in such a nuanced way.

Highly recommended read!!

This. Anyone who thinks Invisible Man is just a book about 'the black struggle' or whatever either had shit-tier reading comprehension or simply hasn't read it.

Third this. Only book by a black author that I found speaks to general existential dynamics.

I remember it having a God-tier prologue but I never actually got into the book

I also like Toni Morisson's Beloved, reminded me of Faulkner who of course is a superior author
