Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"[A] vastly ambitious informing allegory, an allegory made rich, as in Invisible man, with the sensory details of which Ellison was such a master." -The New York Review of Books

"[A] stunning achievement.... Juneteenth is a tour de force of untutored eloquence. Ellison sought no less than to create a Book of Blackness, a literary composition of the tradition at its most sublime and fundamental." -Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Time

"Juneteenth...threatens to come as close as any since Huckleberry Finn to grabbing the ring of the great American Novel." -Los Angeles Times

Reseña del editor:

Shot on the Senate floor by a young black man, a dying racist senator summons an elderly black Baptist minister from Oklahoma to his side for a remarkable dialogue that reveals the deeply buried secrets of their shared past and the tragedy that reunites them. Reprint. 60,000 first printing.
