VINTAGE CLASSICS' HARLEM RENAISSANCE SERIES Celebrating the finest
works of the Harlem Renaissance, one of the most important Black
arts movements in modern history. 'She could neither conform nor be
happy in her unconformity' Nella Larsen wrote two novels in her
lifetime, both of which are collected here. The first, Quicksand,
follows a mixed-race woman who runs from the fictional town of
Naxos to Chicago to Harlem to Copenhagen. It becomes easy for her
to leave behind places but the discrimination she's running from is
inescapable. In Passing, two childhood friends reconnect later in
life. One, slightly more light-skinned than the other, lives her
life passing for a white person, married to a flagrant racist while
her friend observes uneasily. Masterfully plotted and infinitely
illuminating, Quicksand and Passing are two of the finest works of
the Harlem Renaissance. 'A beloved novel from the Harlem
Renaissance that follows the fraught relationship between two
childhood friends, one who passes for white and one who chooses not
to' Brit Bennett 'Absolutely absorbing, fascinating and
indispensable' Alice Walker 'Buy the book' W. E. B. Du Bois
