It's a brilliant book from a symbolic stand point. Like, everything in the book is a metaphor or symbol for something else. The way they are all at play makes Ellison one of the best American writers of all time. The narrative element is a little lacking, though. Don't go into it expecting a brilliant story, because it just isn't there. Highly readable—the book pratctically reads itself—but the story is digressive and circular. It's not really about that, but still.I have this book, how was it?
Great book.

"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all. "
- Oscar Wilde
sounds like a kind of book bears would want to read. "Digressive and circular" is something bears don't mind in the least.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll have to move it up my list a bit. I'm struggling over what book to read now :'( It's a sad, inhuman state of affairs.
