Description
Ralph Ellison's Juneteenth is a powerful and evocative tale of a prodigal in the twentieth century. A young man, raised by an itinerant preacher, grapples with the mystery of his past and the choices that have led him to where he is today.
As the dying Senator Adam Sunraider requests from the preacher whom he calls Daddy Hickman, "Tell me what happened while there's still time," Ellison masterfully weaves together a story of love, loss, and redemption. With brilliant craftsmanship, Juneteenth is a moving and wise exploration of the human experience.
