{{quote|''"My God, boy! You're black and living in the South--did you forget how to lie?"''|'''Dr. Bledsoe'''}}
The first and only completed novel by the critic and reviewer [[Ralph Ellison]], published in 1952 and extremely popular ever since. The plot revolves around a young black man who is determined to rise to a position of influence, but is completely ignorant of the amount of lying and scheming that will take, and who, as he bounces from one situation to another in search of power, both hears the words and witnesses the actions of various people and groups who're manipulating the racial divide.
[[Not to Be Confused With]] ''[[The Invisible Man (novel)|'''The''' Invisible Man]]'', a [[Science Fiction]] novel by [[H. G. Wells]].
