Quicksand & Passing
A writer of the Harlem Renaissance, Nella Larsen wrote just two novels, published here, and a handful of short stories. Quicksand, written in 1928, is an autobiographical novel about Helga Crane, a mixed race woman caught between fulfilling her desires and gaining respectability in her middle class neighbourhood. Critically acclaimed, both speak powerfully of the contradictions and restrictions experienced by black women at that time.
Reconnecting in adulthood, Clare has chosen to live as a white woman, while Irene embraces black culture and has an important role in her community. Written a year later, Passing tells the story of two childhood friends, Clare and Irene, both light skinned enough to pass as white. Nella Larsen's novels are moving, characterful, and important books.
She pioneered writing about the conflicts of sexuality, race and the secret suffering of women in the early twentieth century.
