Emergence of Genius
" Dr. Lawrence Jackson s remarkable biography of Ralph Ellison is an essential contribution to the scholarship on one of the twentieth century s greatest writers. Painstakingly researched and exhaustive, this compelling portrait of Ellison clarifies his genius and his intellectual era for a new century." Charles Johnson, National Book Award Winner and author of Middle Passage
" Lawrence Jackson s absorbing biography of Ralph Ellison makes a vital contribution to American literary history." Ross Posnock, English Department, New York University, Author of Color and Culture: Black Writers and the Making of the Modern Intellectual
" Professor Lawrence Jackson s painstaking documentation of Ralph Ellison s early life and the beginn literary career provides a much needed resource for Ellison s readers and critics." Horace Porter, author of Jazz Country: Ralph Ellison in America and Director of African Studies at the University of Iowa
" An eloquently written and exquisitely researched biography. There is nothing quite like it. Jackson breathes life into those hidden nooks and crannies of Ellison s youth that would later become cannon fodder for the grown Ellison s explorations. An utterly groundbreaking biography, the idea of Ralph Ellison will never be the same." Jerry Watts, author of Heroism and the Black Intellectual: Ralph Ellison, Politics, and Afro-AmericanIntellectual Life
