Summary of Invincible Man by Ralph Ellison
The narrator begins telling his story with the claim that he is an “invisible guy.” his invisibility, he says, is not a bodily circumstance—he isn’t literally invisible—but is rather the end result of the refusal of others to peer him. He says that due to his invisibility, he has been hiding from the arena, residing underground and stealing energy from the monopolated light & electricity enterprise.
