I liked the fact that this is a classic that you always learn something new from. I've got an old worn copy that I wrote in when I read it the first time in high school. I pull it out from time to time to see my growth as a thinker and a writer. I don't know that it was as good as I had remembered at the time. But I think of life lessons that we can learn from this novel. It is no wonder that Ellison created this book and essentially stopped. I would highly recommend this for any high school student that does not have this on their required reading. If nothing else, it is great preparation for college english classes.
The book is a glimpse into the authors world , and how he dealt with racism .

Bought it for school, good book. Unquestionably, Ellison’s book is a powerfully imagined and written with a savage, wryly humorous gusto. It contains many scenes which are brought off with great brio and a striking felicity of detail. To my mind, however, it has faults that cannot simply be shrugged off—occasional overwriting, stretches of fuzzy thinking, and a tendency to waver, confusingly, between realism and surrealism.
The book is in good condition with minor wear around the cover. No markings, writing, or highlighting inside the book.
