Throughout her short but brilliant literary career, Nell Larsen
wrote piercing dramas about the black middle class that featured
sensitive, spirited heroines struggling to find a place where they
belong. Passing is a disturbing story about the unravelling lives
of two childhood friends, one of whom turns her back on her past
and marries a white racist. Just as disquieting is the portrait in
Quicksand of biracial Helga Crane, who is unable to escape her
loneliness no matter where and with whom she lives. Race and
marriage offer few securities here or in the other stories in this
compulsively readable collection, rich in psychological
complexities and imbued with a vibrant sense of place - be it 1920s
Harlem, Chicago, or Copenhagen.
