Readings
Part of the series Revisiting Ralph Ellison’s “Invisible Man”
Politics of the Invisible Man Group Discussion
TUESDAY MAY 11 2021 5:00 PM PDT
Led by Ralph Ellison’s literary executor, John Callahan, this intimate seminar takes up the threads of Invisible Man’s politics. Callahan will focus on the nameless protagonist’s tumultuous rise within--and disillusionment from--the leftist organization of the Brotherhood. Readings will be provided in advance, and participants will be encouraged to engage in active discussion moderated by UCLA professor and Ellison expert Adam Bradley.
