Recently I finally read Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man from beginning to end and, I must say, I would call it one of the best works of fiction I have ever read. It deals with the "invisible," or marginalized, main character's expulsion from academia and subsequent initiation into a Marxist Brotherhood. Neither group, it turns out, has what he is looking for to offer. This book is extremely skillfully and also clearly written, and it has just about everything you would want in a book, including villains, fight scenes, and a brooding antihero. Recommended!
