Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. 6 1/2" X 9 1/2." By the author of the "Invisible Man." In Washington, D.C., in the 1950s, Adam Sunraider, a race-baiting senator from a New England state, is mortally wounded by an assassin's bullet while making a speech on the Senate floor. To the shock of all who think they know him, Sunraider calls out from his deathbed for Hickman, an old black minister, to be brought to his side. The Reverend is summoned; the two are left alone. Out of their conversation, and the inner rhythms of memories whose weight has been borne in silence for many long years, a story emerges. Minor spotting on cover.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. NEW First Edition hardcover (Orig. 2010) First Printing * 6.28" x 9.50" x 2.24", 1.58 kg, xxxii+1104 (1136) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: At his death in 1994, Ralph Ellison left behind roughly 2,000 pp of his unfinished 2nd novel, which he had spent nearly 4 decades writing. Long awaited, it was to have been the work Ellison intended to follow his masterpiece, "Invisible Man". Five years later, Random House published "Juneteenth", drawn from the central narrative of Ellison's unfinished epic. "Three Days Before the Shooting" gathers together in one volume, for the first time, all the parts of that planned opus, including 3 major sequences never before published. Set in the frame of a deathbed vigil, the story is a gripping multi-generational saga centered on the assassination of the controversial, race-baiting U.S. senator Adam Sunraider, who's being tended to by "Daddy" Hickman, the elderly black jazz musician turned preacher who raised the orphan Sunraider as a light-skinned black in rural Georgia. Presented in their unexpurgated, provisional state, the narrative sequences form a deeply poetic, moving, & profoundly entertaining book, brimming w/ humor & tension, composed in Ellison's magical jazz-inspired prose style & marked by his incomparable ear for vernacular speech. Beyond its richly compelling narratives, "Three Days Before the Shooting ." is perhaps most notable for its extraordinary insight into the creative process of one of this country's greatest writers. In various stages of composition and revision, its typescripts and computer files testify to Ellison's achievement and struggle with his material from the mid-1950s until his death forty years later. Three Days Before the Shooting . . . is an essential, fascinating piece of Ralph Ellison's legacy, and its publication is to be welcomed as a major event for American arts and letters. * ABOUT THE AUTHR: RALPH ELLISON (1914-94) was born in Oklahoma and trained as a musician at Tuskegee Institute from 1933 to 1936, at which time a visit to New York and a meeting with Richard Wright led to his first attempts at fiction. Invisible Man won the National Book Award. Appointed to the Academy of American Arts and Letters in 1964, Ellison taught at several institutions, including Bard College, the University of Chicago, and New York University, where he was Albert Schweitzer Professor of Humanities. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: JOHN F. CALLAHAN is Morgan S. Odell Professor of Humanities at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. His writings include a novel, A Man You Could Love. He is the editor of the Modern Library edition of The Collected Essays of Ralph Ellison and is the literary executor of Ralph Ellison's estate.
