Nella Larsen's fascinating exploration of race and identity--the inspiration for the Netflix film directed by Rebecca Hall, starring Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga.
This Signet Classics edition of Passing includes an Introduction by Brit Bennett, the bestselling author of The Vanishing Half. One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Irene Redfield is a Black woman living an affluent, comfortable life with her husband and children in the thriving neighborhood of Harlem in the 1920s. When she reconnects with her childhood friend Clare Kendry, who is similarly light-skinned, Irene discovers that Clare has been passing for a white woman after severing ties to her past--even hiding the truth from her racist husband. Clare finds herself drawn to Irene's sense of ease and security with her Black identity and longs for the community (and, increasingly, the woman) she lost. Irene is both riveted and repulsed by Clare and her dangerous secret, as Clare begins to insert herself--and her deception--into every part of Irene's stable existence. First published in 1929, Larsen's brilliant examination of the various ways in which we all seek to "pass," is as timely as ever.

Larsen, Nella
Nella Larsen é uma das mais influentes escritoras da Renascença do Harlem. Natural de Chicago, foi para Nova York nos anos 1910, onde trabalhou como enfermeira e bibliotecária, casando-se em 1919 com o físico Elmer Imes, o segundo afro-americano da história dos Estados Unidos a receber um doutorado, de quem se separou em 1933. Publicou seu primeiro romance, Quicksand, em 1928, e Identidade no ano seguinte. Devido a problemas profissionais e pessoais, sua terceira obra não foi aceita para publicação, e, em 1930, ela parou de escrever. Larsen trabalhou como enfermeira em tempo integral até sua morte, em 1964. Ela não deixou herdeiros. |
