鈥Invisible Man鈥 by Ralph Ellison (Vintage, 608 pp.) is a cautionary tale that will never expire. Through the eyes of a nameless, faceless black man the reader encounters social and political aspects of society that threaten to efface unique identity. Ellison鈥檚 existential tale chronicles the suppression of one black man, but it also warns of society鈥檚 eclipse of countless individuals.
