Over six decades (1933 to 1993), Ralph Ellison's extensive and revealing correspondence remarkably details his aspirations and anxieties, confidence and uncertainties throughout his personal and professional life. From early notes to his mother, as an impoverished college student; to debates with the most distinguished American writers and thinkers of his time, including Romare Bearden, Saul Bellow, Robert Penn Warren, Richard Wright, and Alfred Kazin, among others; to exchanges with friends and family from his hometown of Oklahoma City, whose influence would always be paramount, these letters communicate the immense importance of Ellison's life and work. They show his metamorphosis from an impressionable youth into a cultured man of the world, from an aspiring composer into a distinguished novelist, and ultimately into a man who confronted America's many complexities through his words"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Ellison, Ralph $v Correspondence. 600 17 $a Ellison, Ralph. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00002922 650 0 $a Novelists, American $y 20th century $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a African American authors $v Correspondence. 700 1 $a Callahan, John F., $d 1940- $e editor. 700 1 $a Conner, Marc C., $d 1965- $e editor. 941 $a 8 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724074548.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012015114.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317032224.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210211012045.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20201204010859.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103022504.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200208010455.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191204010245.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=29C1EA92E5A311E9B7B99A5997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
