New York: Random House, 1999. Full size book club edition. Very near fine in a like dustjacket. For 40 years, Ellison worked on his 'second novel' - although fragments of his 'work in progress' were published, in 1967 his only copy of the manuscript was burned in a fire which destroyed his house. Nevertheless he continued working on this until his death and the manuscripts which he left contain enough material for three novels. This novel, which was edited by John F. Callahan at the request of Ellison's wife, is 'book two' - selected for publication because it contains the most complete narrative structure. Toni Morrison said this about the novel: 'Ellison's generosity, humor, and nimble language are, of course, on display in Juneteenth, but it is his vigorous intellect that rules the novel.' Includes an introduction, notes and an afterword by Callahan., New York: Random House, 1999.<
