I still wanna read these---as wiki sez:Juneteenth is Ralph Ellison's second novel, published posthumously in 1999 as a 368-page condensation of over 2,000 pages written by him over a period of 40 years.[1] It was originally written without any real organization, and Ellison's longtime friend, biographer and critic John F. Callahan, put the novel together, editing it in the way he thought Ellison would want it to be written.
The fuller version of the manuscript was published as Three Days Before the Shooting... on February 2, 2010. And Flying Home: and Other Stories and still haven't read the essays, Shadow and Act. But I'll start with Juneteenth.

Learned in the LRB that the happy ending of The Price Of Salt was editorial meddling and not Highsmith's initial intent.
