Going to the Territory by Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man. Signed and inscribed by Ellison. First edition, stated. Published in 1986 by Random House, New York. (Between 1970 and 2002, Random House began their number lines with a 2 on their first editions instead of a 1.)

This is a generous selection from two decades of Ellison’s essays, lectures, personal reminiscences, and interviews. The title of this work is also the title of an address the author delivered at the Ralph Ellison Festival, a celebration of his accomplishments, held at Brown University in September 1979.
