Ralph Ellison from Invisible Man
The American writer Ralph Waldo Ellison , b. Oklahoma City, Okla., Mar. 1, 1914, achieved international fame with his first novel, Invisible Man (1952). He was influenced early by the myth of the frontier, viewing the United States as a land of "infinite possibilities." The close-knit black community in which he grew up supplied him with images of courage and endurance and an interest in music. From 1933 to 1936, Ellison attended Tuskegee Institute, intent upon pursuing a career in music; his readings in modern literature, however, interested him in writing. In 1936 he moved to New York City, met the novelist Richard Wright, and became associated with the Federal Writers' Project, publishing short stories and articles in such magazines as New Challenge and New Masses . These early details of his life, set down in Shadow and Act (1964), a collection of political, social, and critical essays, enhance an understanding of Invisible Man . The influences of the frontier tradition, the black community, and Ellison's interest in music combined to create the richly symbolic, metaphorical language of the novel, as displayed in the Rhinehart and Mary Rambo episodes. Its theme, the human search for identity, also reflects Ellison's early interest in Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, and Henry David Thoreau and his later debt to Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Andre Malraux, and Wright. Invisible Man won the National Book Award in 1953. Since 1970, Ellison has been Albert Schweitzer Professor of the Humanities at New York University and has lectured extensively on black folk culture....

Ralph Ellison, 1914-1994
By Paula Caudle, Naomi Lancaster, and Andy Stamper
Students, University of North Carolina at Pembroke
Ralph Waldo Ellison was born on March 1, 1914, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. From his birth, Ellison’s parents knew he was bound for prosperity. His father even named him for the great writer Ralph Waldo Emerson in an effort to ensure such success. As Ellison himself says in reference to his parents, “no matter what their lives had been, their children's lives would be lives of possibility.” Mrs. Ellison, a maid, would bring home books, magazines, and record albums that had been discarded in the homes she cleaned. Ralph and his brother, Herbert, were supplied with chemistry sets, toy typewriters, and a rolltop desk so that they would have the tools to succeed. When he was a teenager, Ellison and his friends daydreamed of being “Renaissance Men.” Therefore, they studied the values and attitudes of Native Americans and whites, as well as blacks. Ellison revered and admired the musicians of his area. At Douglas High School, Ellison followed his inclination toward music. From there, he went to Tuskegee Institute on a scholarship and dreamed of writing a symphony. After there was a mix-up with his scholarship, Ellison chose to go north in order to save money for tuition. Arriving in New York, Ellison found it difficult to find work and even harder to find work as a musician. The result was a succession of odd jobs at Harlem’s YMCA with a psychiatrist. There Ellison acted as a file clerk and a receptionist, and held various other jobs around town. During this time, Ellison met the writer Richard Wright, who encouraged him to be a writer rather than a musician.

Why do you think this critic's opinion varied so greatly from the other critics' opinions? The New Republic , "American Culture is of a Whole": From the Letters of Ralph Ellison This is a fascinating site where you can read excerpts from a collection of Ellison's letters and compare how his writing varies in a different medium. John F. Callahan, Ellison's literary executor, introduces the letters. He writes: "The letters that follow express Ellison's views on the fraught matters of race and identity. On these urgent and delicate questions, Ellison's wisdom is distilled from his sense of the interrelatedness and the unpredictability of American life."

Ralph Ellison Born in Oklahoma on March 1, 1914, Ralph Waldo Ellison is best known nationally and internationally for his work, Invisible Man (1952), for which he won a National Book Award for fiction in 1953. Ellison, a novelist, sculptor, amateur photographer, electrician, actor and huntsman, taught at several American colleges and universities. It was while as a student working in the library at Tuskegee University that he began to explore the world of literature. In 1936, Ellison met Richard Wright, who encouraged him to write. Ellison's writing career began with a short story, "Hymie Bull." It was when he moved to New York during the Harlem Renaissance, that Ellison wrote the critically acclaimed Invisible Man. Finding the stereotypes placed on African Americans in America unacceptable, Ellison refused to depict them as such in his work. At the time of his death on April 16, 1994, Ellison had not yet published his second novel, begun in 1958 and lost in a fire at his summer home in Massachusetts.

Ralph Ellisonfrom leftist reviews to modernist interiority
An excerpt from Thomas Hill Schaub's American Fiction in the Cold War (Wisconsin, 1991)
In book reviews for New Masses from 1939 to 1941, [Ellison's] Marxist perspective remains a central element. In "Ruling Class Southerner," for example, he faults the author for failing to make his central character "the personalization of the sociological facts" and argues that "no matter how powerful an individual may become, he is dependent upon others with similar interests; it is this group's consciousness of itself as a class . . . that is responsible" ([p] 27). In "Anti-War Novel" Ellison suggests that Spring Offensive, a novel by Herbert Lewis, is unlikely to receive attention from "the capitalist press," and admires the book for showing "a degree of class consciousness" and "nuances of American class struggle" (29- 30). Similarly, Ellison praises Len Zinberg's novel Walk Hard, Talk Loud for showing a boy's coming to see his relation to a "diseased social order" and notes that the success of Zinberg, a white writer, derives from his "Marxist understanding of the economic basis of Negro personality" ("Negro Prize Fighter," 27). Looking back through these first essays, one notices not only that Ellison easily accommodated Marxist ideology with other themes that he has since retained, but also that within the context of that time, his determination to situate the black American within the terms of universality was far from reactionary. Ellison was preoccupied with the need to displace "stereotyped roles which ignore Negro problems and Negro reality" with roles and portraits that acknowledged a greater "range of emotion." "It was a long Broadway tradition," he notes in his review of Theodore Ward's

, essayist and novelist. As a cultural historian and novelist, Ellison has had since 1952 an extraordinary influence on European-American and African-American literature. Born and raised in Oklahoma and trained at Tuskegee Institute as a symphony composer, Ellison has successfully managed to reconcile his folk and classical cultural heritages. Before a fateful Harlem meeting with Richard Wright in 1937, he had already been educated in the rich oral ethnic forms of his region. Besides the rhythms, imagery, and poetry of the vernacular, Oklahoma City, a southwestern center of jazz, was vibrant with the blues during his boyhood. But in school, young trumpet-playing Ellison was also drilled in military and classical music. Ellison realized his boyhood dream of becoming a renaissance man. He has been a free-lance photographer, jazz musician, vice president of the National Institute of Arts and Letters, a member of the American Academy of Arts, a trustee of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and a professor at New York University. He has received such prestigious awards as the Russwurm, the Medal of Freedom, and the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres. He peppered his conversations, lectures, and writings with anecdotes that revealed his humble origins, professional relationships with celebrated, culturally diverse artists, and a strong sense of bicultural rather than black cultural nationalist identity as an American writer of African descent. More highly respected by his peers than by younger black students and writers, Ellison was as much at home in a Harlem barbershop as in a Harvard lecture hall.

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~wright/music/coltrane-ellison/paper.html
The Art of John Coltrane and Ralph Ellison
The combination of economic exploitation and racism has made one facet of the so-called "Black American experience" poverty and degradation. One could cite a myriad of statistics about higher unemployment, lower wages, lower funding for schools, and disproportionate numbers of blacks in prison or on death row. And yet, that is only one side of a very complex story, one far too complex to be understood in terms of mere statistics, or to be discussed as an all-inclusive "experience." How can one take the lives of millions of people, with diverse conditions and interests, clump them all together, and talk about it in any meaningful way? How can one hope to explain such diverse things as jazz and the blues, the tremendous wealth of Black Literature, the Civil Rights Movement, Black Power, Malcolm X, Jimi Hendrix, Frederick Douglas, Richard Wright, Martin Luther King Jr., John Coltrane, Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. DuBois, Booker T. Washington, Clarence Thomas, the Million Man March, Louis Farrakhan, Wilson Goode, Tom Bradley, Rodney King and the Los Angeles rebellion in 1992
