Available at last, E. Lynn Harris's beloved first novel in a
hardcover edition.
Just a few years ago, E. Lynn
Harris was selling his self-published novel Invisible
Life out of the back of his car. Today he is a
bestselling publishing sensation, with more than one million
copies of his four novels sold. To celebrate Harris's
incredible success, and offer his fans the opportunity to
own, at last, a hardcover version of Invisible Life,
Doubleday is proud to announce a special edition of the book
so many have cherished.
Invisible Life is the
story of a young man's coming of age. Law school,
girlfriends, and career choices were all part of Raymond
Tyler's life, but there were other, more terrifying issues
for him to confront. Being black was tough enough, but
Raymond was becoming more and more conscious of sexual
feelings that he knew weren't "right." He was completely
committed to Sela, his longtime girlfriend, but his
attraction to Kelvin, whom he had met during his last year
in law school, had become more than just a friendship. No
matter how much he tried to suppress them, his feelings were
deeply sexual.
Fleeing to New York to escape both
Sela and Kelvin, Raymond finds himself more confused than
ever before. New relationships--both male and female--give
him enormous pleasure but keep him from finding the inner
peace and lasting love he so desperately desires. The
horrible illness and death of a friend force Raymond, at
last, to face the truth.
Invisible Life has
been hailed as "one of the most thought-provoking
books--since James Baldwin's Another Country" (Richmond
Voice), and Harris's "stories have become the toast of
bookstores, reading groups, men, women, and gay and straight
people" (Atlanta
Journal-Constitution).
Proceeds from the sale of
this special fifth anniversary edition will go to the E.
Lynn Harris Foundation, a charitable organization that gives
young people across the country the opportunity to study
writing with established authors, and also aids emerging
artists.
