| Synopsis | |
| This posthumously published novel, the successor to Ellison's classic "The Invisible Man", celebrates June 19, 1865, known as "Emancipation Day," when Union soldiers told Texas blacks that they were free.

| Industry reviews | |
| "JUNETEENTH may give [Ellison's] fans a fix, but they'll finish the volume with their craving intact. Could this extract from an unfinished novel read like anything else but exactly that? You don't have to squint to find what's great in JUNETEENTH, but the book is only a corner of the canvas....Personally...,I'm pretty grateful for anything new from Ellison, despite the puzzles." Salon - Colson Whitehead (06/08/1999) "Ellison's impassioned, accusatory, partially inchoate celebration of the ambiguities of...freedom doesn't alas, constitute another 'Invisible Man'. But it is a work of rare and doubtlessly unique intelligence, purpose, and power--a generous legacy bequeathed to us, persuasive testimony to the genius of Ralph Ellison." Kirkus Reviews (03/01/1999) "In absolutely no way does this undertaking seem the fruit of avarice or self-aggrandizement, as is so often the case when an author's heirs (most notoriously Ernest Hemingway's) plunder his literary remains to squeeze the last ounce of profit therefrom. To the contrary, the editing of this book appears to have been an act of homage and love, growing out of deep respect for Ellison and equally deep regret that he was never able to bring this book to completion..." Washington Post Book World - Jonathan Yardley (06/13/1999) "The first chapter of JUNETEENTH is classic storytelling. With quiet, ironic humor it portrays the plight of African-Americans and effectively arouses the expectations that make readers turn pages. Ellison has powerful insights into the inescapable realities of race in America and to the American character, in which the preacher is not often separate from the huckster, in which salesmen are often driven by evangelistic zeal. JUNETEENTH embodies the natural affinity of politics, religion and entertainment in America." Kansas City Star - George Gurley (06/13/1999) | |
