If you would like to read more of Nella Larsen’s writing check out her first novel, Quicksand, which also has a multiracial heroine whose story helps define the era of Larsen’s life through lyrical and highly visual written detail.

Other titles that deal with subject of “passing” include:

• The Human Stain by Philip Roth (also see the Reader's Den discussion of this book from May 2010)
• The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse by Louise Erdrich
• Alien Land by William Savoy
• The Bondwoman's Narrative by Hannah Crafts

Thank you for joining me in reading Passing by Nella Larsen.  Please join the Reader’s Den in August to read and discuss A Pale View of the Hills by Ishiguro.
