Juneteenth (Revised)

[A] vastly ambitious informing allegory, an allegory made rich, as in Invisible Man, with the sensory details of which Ellison was such a master."  -The New York Review of Books

"[A] stunning achievement. . . . Juneteenth is a tour de force of untutored eloquence.  Ellison sought no less than to create a Book of Blackness, a literary composition of the tradition at its most sublime and fundamental."  -Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Time  

"Juneteenth . . . threatens to come as close as any since Huckleberry Finn to grabbing the ring of the Great American Novel."  -Los Angeles Times

Eloquent, ardent, and worth the wait. . . . Beautifully written and imaginatively conceived, Juneteenth, like Invisible Man, deserves to be read and reread by generations. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
