John Callahan

    5. Februar 1951 – 24. Juli 2010

    John Callahan ist ein anerkannter Literaturwissenschaftler, der sich auf die amerikanische und afroamerikanische Literatur spezialisiert hat. Als literarischer Nachlassverwalter von Ralph Ellison spielte er eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Veröffentlichung von Ellisons posthumen Werken und ermöglichte den Lesern einen tieferen Einblick in Ellisons literarisches Erbe. Callahans eigener literarischer Stil zeichnet sich durch ein tiefes Verständnis der menschlichen Psyche und gesellschaftlicher Themen aus, die er mit scharfer Einsicht erforscht. Sein Werk spiegelt das Streben nach einem Verständnis der Komplexität menschlicher Erfahrung und Geschichte wider.

      Raw, lyrical and blazing with intensity, these short stories are a potent distillation of the genius of Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man. 'He saw the dark bird glide into the sun and glow like a bird of flaming gold' Ranging from the Jim Crow South to a Harlem bingo parlour, from the hobo jungles of the Great Depression to Wales during the Second World War, they all display the musically layered voices, soaring language and sheer ebullience that made Ellison a giant of twentieth-century American writing. Written early in Ellison's career, several of these fourteen stories were unpublished in his lifetime, including 'A Storm of Blizzard Proportions' which features in this collection for the first time.
