Ralph Ellison's Three Days Before the Shooting
Published: Tuesday, February 09, 2010
The Harvard Book Store hosted a conversation with John Callahan and Adam Bradley about Ralph Ellison's posthumously-published second novel Three Days Before the Shooting. At his death in 1994, Ralph Ellison left behind roughly two thousand pages of his unfinished second novel, which he had spent nearly four decades writing. Long awaited, it was to have been the work Ellison intended to follow his masterpiece, Invisible Man. Three Days Before the Shooting gathers together in one volume, for the first time, all the parts of that planned opus, including three major sequences never before published.
