Recently for our book club we read Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. Originally published in the 1950s, it's considered a classic of American literature, though it rarely makes the rounds in most online book spaces these days.

In this episode we do a deep dive on the only novel Ellison saw published in his lifetime.
