Vedic Horoscope for Ellison, Ralph

American novelist, literary critic, and scholar, best known for his 1952 novel Invisible Man, which won the National Book Award in 1953. He also wrote Shadow and Act (1964), a collection of political, social and critical essays, and Going to the Territory (1986). For The New York Times, the best of these essays in addition to the novel put him "among the gods of America's literary Parnassus." A posthumous novel, Juneteenth, was published after being assembled from voluminous notes he left after his death. He died of pancreatic cancer on 16 April 1994 at age 81 in New York City.Starkman quotes Wikipedia: Ellison biographer Rampersad writes: "For most of his life Ralph would offer 1914 as the correct year", and Rampersad acknowledges the 1920 U.S. Census lists Ellison as "six years old". A surviving note his mother's hand kept behind a photograph of Ellison "as a toddler, sets his time and date of birth as 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 1, 1914. But March 1 fell on a Saturday in 1913, not in 1914. Someone had changed 1913 to 1914 after an erasure." More evidence comes from Ellison's memory of his father's death: Ellison "always insisted he was three years old when the worst disaster of his life occurred: On July 19, 1916 his father died after an operation."
