The Complete and Unabridged Fiction of Nella Larsen - (Hardcover)

Nella Larsen's powerful and critically acclaimed novels and short stories are collected here in one place, including Passing and Quicksand.

Passing explores the complexities of racial passing and how people pass on many different levels, while Quicksand examines a woman's need for sexual fulfillment balanced against respectability and acceptance amid a deeply religious society.

Both novels are deeply pessimistic and end in tragedy, but they offer important insights into the experiences of black Americans during the Harlem Renaissance.

This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature and the history of race relations.
