The Collected Essays of Ralph Ellison, edited and introduced by John F. Callahan, gathers a wide-ranging selection of Ralph Ellison's nonfiction writings, revealing the depth and complexity of one of America's most important literary voices. Spanning four decades, the collection includes essays, speeches, and reviews that reflect Ellison's thoughts on literature, music (especially jazz), identity, race, and American culture.
