Ralph Ellison: Emergence of a Genius,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ralph Ellison: Emergence of Genius (Hardcover)
This is the most detailed look at Ellison's life that I've seen. This biography covers his path from poverty in Oklahoma to becoming part of the literary elite in the early 1950's. The author examines Ellison's involvement in the black rights movement and his relationships with Langston Hughes and Richard Wright. From start to finish, this is a fascinating read.

Brilliant!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ralph Ellison: Emergence of Genius (Hardcover)
I loved this bio of Ellison, the first to be published, and its focus on the early years. The writing is top-notch and Jackson has clearly done exhaustive research to uncover an amazing amount of fascinating detail. Belongs in any reader's collection devoted to American and African American literature and history.
5.0 out of 5 stars
