Ralph Ellison deserves a thread
Maybe Ralph Ellison was a "one hit wonder," but allow me to briefly quote from the jacket of The Modern Library Commemorative Edition 1994:
"A milestone in American literature, Invisible Man has engaged readers since its appearance in 1952. A first novel by an unknown writer, it remained on the bestseller list 16 weeks, won the National Book Award for fiction, and established Ralph Ellison as one of the key writers of the century."
To quote Marvel Comics honcho Stan Lee: "Nuff said!"
