Invisible Man by Ralph EllisonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the classic tale of an unnamed protagonist who struggles to find his place in the world. He is a young black man in the early 20th century coming to terms with being an invisible person, that is one that is often overlooked and does not stand out. Multiple times throughout the book, he must shed his identity and take on a new persona in order to survive. He always has hope but is often let down, and most of the time by his own doing.
This book explores themes of identity and individualism, responsibility, and race relations. It is a book that still resonates today.
