{"product_id":"flying-home-ralph-ellison-9780679776611","title":"Flying Home: and Other Stories","description":"Written between 1937 and 1954 and now available in paperback for the first time, these thirteen stories are a potent distillation of the genius of Ralph Ellison. Six of them remained unpublished during Ellison's lifetime and were discovered among the author's effects in a folder labeled \"Early Stories.\" But they all bear the hallmarks--the thematic reach, musically layered voices, and sheer ebullience--that Ellison would bring to his classic \u003cb\u003eInvisible Man\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe tales in \u003cb\u003eFlying Home\u003c\/b\u003e range in setting from the Jim Crow South to a Harlem bingo parlor, from the hobo jungles of the Great Depression to Wales during the Second World War. By turns lyrical, scathing, touching, and transcendently wise, \u003cb\u003eFlying Home and Other Stories\u003c\/b\u003e is a historic volume, an extravagant last bequest from a giant of our literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ralph Ellison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0679776613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679776611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.19w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e74964 \/ Flying Home and Other Stories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/1998 pg. 36","brand":"Ralph Ellison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044788596991,"sku":"9780679776611","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_645b5a5b-3547-43f1-a4aa-3cd72b074622.jpg?v=1684974897","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flying-home-ralph-ellison-9780679776611","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
