I'm the Invisible Man

Well, besides the fact that Queen's drummer got the inspiration to do the Invisible Man song after he read the book by Ralph Ellison, The Invisible Man, takes off in the beginning of the book, explaining why he considers himself an Invisible Man:

''I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids-and I might even be said to posses a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.''Pg. 3

So, here we understand that this main character, has probably either been discriminated off some sort, which made him become ''invisible'' to a lot of people who refused to see him. We see also, as we read back, how the main character goes back to see and reflect some of the important moments in his life. One of them, proves to be the last words his grandfather told him before he died, which not even the protagonist understands exactly what it means:

''Son, after I'm gone I want you to keep up the good fight. I never told you, but our life is a war and I have been a traitor all my born days, a spy in the enemy's country ever since I give up my gun back in the Reconstruction.'' Pg. 16

We still don't know exactly where all of this is going, but this book has been the most interesting one we have read so far.
