-- Washington Post Book World
The seventeen essays collected in this volume prove that Ralph Ellison was not only one of America's most dazzlingly innovative novelists but perhaps also our most perceptive and iconoclastic commentator on matters of literature, culture, and race. In Going to the Territory, Ellison provides us with dramatically fresh readings of William Faulkner and Richard Wright, along with new perspectives on the music of Duke Ellington and the art of Romare Bearden. He analyzes the subversive quality of black laughter, the mythic underpinnings of his masterpiece Invisible Man, and the extent to which America's national identity rests on the contributions of African Americans. Erudite, humane, and resounding with humor and common sense, the result is essential Ellison.

Store description
I can not honestly say we specialize in a certain author, or certain subject matter. I will say we have a lot of science fiction, and a lot of mysteries, a lot of them from certain authors. Now I need to sell some books to make room for the ones I would like to move in. I estimate that in about another fifty years or so the books on our shelves will be such that I will be unable to bear to sell them.
