Writer： Ralph Ellison Novel ： Invisible Man

Invisible Man is Ellison’s best known work, most likely because it was the only novel he ever published during his lifetime and because it won him the National Book Award in 1953. Ellison, originally from Oklahoma worked hard to match his earlier success but felt that he could not make any progress on his next novel that eventually came to include well over 2000 pages. It was not until Ellison’s death that this novel was condensed (浓缩），edited and published under the title Juneteenth.

She turned out to be more than capable, and the book won a Pulitzer Prize and was adapted into one of the best-known and loved films of all time.
