Fanny Ellison's work on Invisible Man...
Invisible Man
Like college students today, when I went off to college, the assigned reading for freshmen week was Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man. It was a provocative book that sparked a great deal of discussion. This was in Chicago in 1967, not long before the country faced so many turbulent years ahead. One thing I didn’t know at the time was that Ellison’s wife, Fanny, typed the manuscript for Invisible Man, providing her husband with valuable editorial assistance. Ellison had written the book in longhand, and he always acknowledged his wife’s role. The two met through poet Langston Hughes, after Fanny told Hughes she wanted to meet a man who was interested in books.
