Ellison, Ralph. INVISIBLE MAN. New York: Random House, [1952]. First edition of the author's first book. 8vo. Laid into this copy is a cordial TLS on Ellison's letterhead, March 9, 1961. He is glad that his correspondent found "Invisible Man" enjoyable: "I've been full of impatience to complete my work in progress (I write very slowly) ... When it is finished you shouldn't expect too much because second novels are supposed to be inferior ... I hope the rule doesn't hold for me." Ellison moves on to lighter matters: "Since I've seen you, I have acquired a huge, officious-ham-actor of a Labrador Retriever. His head is alligator-size and his tail is like a club, but he's very fond of humans and thinks he is really a brother of Rufus, Saul Bellow's big cat." More than 200 words. Hardcover. A spectacular copy in an unfaded, unsullied dust jacket. Rare thus.
