Ralph Ellison, the author of The Invisible Man (338.1), didn't
publish a second novel in his lifetime. But he left literally
thousands of pages of manuscript, notes, and plain scribblings of a
second novel. Two college types -- including the guy who cobbled
together "Juneteenth" -- have put the novel together for a Modern
Library edition to be published next year. You can read the really
fascinating article about Ellison, the struggle to assemble the
pieces into a cogent whole, and the moving biography of one of the
editors, here:
