From Ralph Ellison - writer of the classic novel of African-American experience, Invisible Man - the long-awaited second novel. This is actually the master of American vernacular - the rhythms of jazz and gospel and standard speech - at the height of his forces, telling a robust, evocative tale of your prodigal of the twentieth century. "Tell me what occurred while there's still time," calls for the dying Senator Adam Sunraider to the itinerate Negro preacher whom he phone calls Daddy Hickman. As a man, Sunraider was Bliss, an orphan used by Hickman and raised to be always a preacher like himself. Bliss's history encompasses the joys of young southern boyhood; bucolic days as a filmmaker, lovemaking in a field in the Oklahoma sunlight. And behind it all lies a unknown: how have this chosen child end up being the man who deny everything to accomplish his goals? Brilliantly built, moving, smart, Juneteenth is the task associated with an American master.
