Enhanced by rare photographs, this work draws from archives, literary correspondence, and interviews with Ellison's relatives, friends, and associates. It traces the writer's path from poverty in dust bowl Oklahoma to his rise among the literary elite and examines his previously undocumented involvement in the Socialist Left of the 1930s and 1940s.
