"Absolutely absorbing, fascinating, and indispensable." -- Alice
Walker
"A work so fine, sensitive, and distinguished that it rises above
race categories and becomes that rare object, a good novel." --
"The Saturday Review of Literature
"Married to a successful physician and prominently ensconced in
Harlem's vibrant society of the 1920s, Irene Redfield leads a
charmed existence-until she is shaken out of it by a chance
encounter with a childhood friend who has been "passing for white."
An important figure in the Harlem Renaissance, Nella Larsen was the
first African-American woman to be awarded a Guggenheim fellowship.
Her fictional portraits of women seeking their identities through a
fog of racial confusion were informed by her own Danish-West Indian
parentage, and "Passing" offers fascinating psychological insights
into issues of race and gender.
