Receiving various accolades, including being ranked no.19 in the Modern Library‘s list of 100 best English language novels of the 20th Century, Ralph Ellison‘s Invisible Man has been marked out as an influential text, exploring the incredibly topical subject of race and identity as an African American man navigates his way through the implications of this very complex topic. Invisible to society, society’s impact on him couldn’t be any louder- Ellison taps into a hyper awareness that we see resonating today.
