More About the Author
Ralph Ellison (1914-94) was born in Oklahoma and trained as a musician at Tuskegee Institute from 1933 to 1936, at which time a visit to New York and a meeting with Richard Wright led to his first attempts at fiction. Invisible Man won the National Book Award. Appointed to the Academy of American Arts and Letters in 1964, Ellison taught at several institutions, including Bard College, the University of Chicago, and New York University, where he was Albert Schweitzer Professor of Humanities.

Absolutely Essential,

This review is from: Conversations with Ralph Ellison (Literary Conversations) (Hardcover)
First off: I am biased: Ellison is one of my Literary Fathers. Invisible Man tremendously impacted me and my Art. These interviews are priceless because they allow us a limited, but valuable, peak behind the Mr. Ellison's Idealogical curtain; where we can clearly see many of his ideas in the their purest and most accessible form--ordinary conversation. Anyone that believes Ellison to be an important Literary figure should have this book in their personal Library. I would highly recommend picking up a used copy (I got mine here at Amazon for only $4.99).
