In 1955, The American Scholar published a discussion among influential writers and editors titled “What’s Wrong with the American Novel.” In the symposium Ralph Ellison remarked that “I just feel that we are called upon to do a big job, not because someone is going to give us a star on the report card, but because this is America and our task is to explore it, create it by describing it.” His conviction came from his success in communicating a creative vision for self-determination in his novel Invisible Man three years earlier. From experience, he knew that writing into a conversation about the nation’s identity could change the ways other people understood their lives and commitments. Widely read and acclaimed, the book draws together and intervenes in multiple cultural conversations. It is a virtuosic celebration of dynamism and fluidity.
