Thoreau's Civil Disobedience - with annotated text. 8, Ralph Ellison. When Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison’s first novel, received the National Book Award for 1953, the author in his acceptance speech noted with dismay and gratification the conferring of the award to what he called an “attempt at a major novel.”
His gratification was understandable, so too his dismay when one considers the amount of objectivity Mr. Ellison can display toward his own work. He felt the state of United States fiction to be so unhappy that it was an “attempt” rather than an achievement which received the important award. Many of us will disagree with Mr. Ellison’s evaluation of his own work. In the summer of 1954, Mr.
Ralph Ellison takes both art and the novel seriously. Let me say right now that my book is not an autobiographical work. You weren’t thrown out of school like the boy in your novel?

Lebrecht Authors A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition By Ernest Hemingway Scribner "For reasons sufficient to the writer,” wrote Ernest Hemingway in notes for a preface to his collection of about-to-be-posthumous Parisian fragments (a preface later pieced together by Mary Hemingway as if from Cuba in 1960), “many places, people, observations and impressions have been left out of this book”: There is no mention of the Stade Anastasie where the boxers served as waiters at the tables set out under the trees and the ring was in the garden. Nor of training with Larry Gains, nor the great twenty-round fights at the Cirque d’Hiver. Eliot, T. S. 1922. The Waste Land.
Whitman's "Song of Myself" I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
