At the close of Invisible Man, after his narrator falls into a manhole, Ellison writes, “I’m an invisible man and it placed me in a hole…and I reluctantly accepted the fact.” Your narrator is a lawyer and father who tries to literally prevent his young biracial son, Nigel, from growing up black. Jennifer Alise Drew/ AGNI: Random House compares your writing to that of Ralph Ellison. His story “The Children of New Orleans” appeared in AGNI 83, and his work can also be found in The Virginia Quarterly Review, The Massachusetts Review, Kenyon Review, and Unfathomable City: A New Orleans Atlas, and elsewhere.
Maurice Carlos Ruffin’s first novel, We Cast a Shadow, was published this January by One World Random House.
