Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Nella Larsen's work, pivotal to the Harlem Renaissance, includes her two novels, "Passing" and "Quicksand," along with three short stories. "Quicksand" explores a woman's struggle for sexual fulfillment versus societal acceptance in a repressive environment, culminating in a grim fate. In contrast, "Passing" delves into racial identity through the lives of childhood friends Clare and Irene, who navigate the complexities of racial passing and its varying implications, revealing the profound consequences of their choices on personal and communal levels.
