Harvard Book Store and the W.E.B. DuBois Institute for African and African American Research are excited to welcome editors JOHN CALLAHAN and ADAM BRADLEY for a conversation about Ralph Ellison's posthumously-published second novel
Three Days Before the Shooting. At his death in 1994, Ralph Ellison left behind roughly two thousand pages of his unfinished second novel, which he had spent nearly four decades writing. Long awaited, it was to have been the work Ellison intended to follow his masterpiece,
Invisible Man. He died without a literary executor, so the choice fell to his wife Fanny. She chose Ellison scholar and friend of the family John Callahan, who with student-turned-colleague Adam Bradley dove into the unfinished text.
Three Days Before the Shooting gathers together in one volume, for the first time, all the parts of that planned opus, including three major sequences never before published.
