Abstract:	Considering ‘invisibility’ as both subject matter and aestheticizing mode of experience, this essay uses the case studies of two American novels - Teju Cole’s Open City (2011) and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man (1952) - to explore how a culturally specific, racially charged, subject is mapped outwards to occupy a broader aesthetic realm.
