Ralph Ellison's Lost Manuscripts

That's nice of you to try to distract us from Detox which is a) never coming out and b) will suck if it does because that's just the rule for these kinds of projects.

Ralph Ellison?

No, the name doesn't ring a bell but if they do him like they did Tupac and Biggie I guess he's got a lot more albums on the way.

i dont know who that is..............
i feel dumb......
very, very dumb
so dumb.....
wait!!
isnt he the guy that..... wait..... no
thats not him......
so dumb.... so, so dumb......

Notes on a novel do not a novel make. I can only hope these "literary detectives" are both acquainted with Invisible Man and good writers in their own right. Else we'll get a garbled mess, along the lines of The Salmon of Doubt or For Us the Living.

I'd assume they must be fans of his work or else why make the effort, but whether they can make something that works under these circumstances is another Q.

They're trying to jusify some womb less Frankenstein with the visible new invisible man. Wasn't that same picture on every page strange?

Ya'll are funny -- Tupac...Biggie....

Ellison is alright…but, what i'm waitin' is for "them" to publish Richard Wright's sequel to "The Long Dream," "Island of Hallucination."
The Manuscript is sitting in Yale and only scholars and such can peep it.

Hey, maybe Cornell can get it freed up...and did somebody say Prince is teaching at my Alma Mater? Maybe he can set the entire manuscript to music as a musical audio book...
Now i'm bein’ funny... sorry.

Anon…….anthony – T (from thePatterson’s takingthetraintoTibet.)

Wow, didn't know about the Richard Wright.

Watsup, Anthony!

thanks for sharing this...im actually reading Invisible Man right now. And yes, I have to agree, definatly 12,363,656 times more important than Reflux, er, Detox. I wonder what they will call this book...did i miss the name being mentioned?

This is exciting. Although I'd prefer a giant, well-designed, decent edited mess of notes, etc. than some kind of "assembly" of the stuff into something... 'Juneteenth' was odd to read for its attempt at making an Ellison novel the great man didn't actually write-

excellent!

I didn't read juneteenth; at this point I'll wait until after this book (if ever).

all these years later the invisible man remains one of the best books I've ever read. it blew my mind in my senior english class; in a way, the fact that we were given it in my senior english class changed the way I think about the relevance of literature and the possibilities in narrative.

Couldn't get through it. Another poor me book they give you in school. Richard Wright, takes the furnace to the man, avant garder.
