“Like Richard Ellmann on James Joyce, Arnold Rampersad on Ralph Ellison is in a class of its own. His masterful and magisterial book is the most powerful and profound treatment of Ellison's undeniable artistic genius, deep personal flaws, and controversial political evolution. And he reveals an Ellison unbeknownst to all of us. From now on, all serious scholarship on Ellison must begin with Rampersad's instant and inimitable classic in literary biography.” BookPoliticalPowerfulClassSeriousEvolutionGeniusProfoundArtisticClassicInstantTreatmentMost PowerfulFlawsBiographiesScholarshipControversialJoyceArtistic Genius Author:Cornel West
