Synopsis

Set in Washington D.C in the 1950s, JUNETEENTH is a jazz novel, a sermon and a song of praise to the richness of the African-American experience. Ellison's legendary lyrical sensibility is very much on display here, with many passages of soaringbeauty and force and dazzling riffs that recreate the American vernacular tradition. As its larger themes, it takes race, identity, violence, truth and fraud, many of which were explored in INVISIBLE MAN. JUNETEENTH looks set to become another African-American classic.

In 1936 he went to New York, where he met the writers Langston Hughes and Richard Wright; shortly afterwards his stories and articles began to appear in magazines and journals.
