Wow, where do I begin? The unnamed main character starts and ends the novel with showing us how, as a black man, he is invisible. He goes from college to Harlem to joining The Brotherhood. He carries a briefcase that's like a memory box, collecting and saving items that are symbolic/important to him. The main character is honest, which is a relief against the rest of the book. Some of the prose is nice, but not enough of it was, and it really isn't anything special. The pacing felt way too out of shape / all over the place. Every other character lacked depth / substance. This just felt like 600 pages - of nothing particularly special, even though the message is important, for sure.
