First published to critical acclaim in 1929, Passing firmly established Nella Larsens prominence among women writers of the Harlem Renaissance. The Modern Library is proud to present Passingan electrifying story of two women who cross the color line in 1920s New Yorktogether with a new Introduction by the Obie Award winning playwright and novelist Ntozake Shange.Irene Redfield, the novels protagonist, is a woman with an enviable life. She and her husband, Brian, a prominent physician, share a comfortable Harlem town house with their sons. Her work arranging charity balls that gather Harlems elite creates a sense of purpose and respectability for Irene. But her hold on this world begins to slip the day she encounters Clare Kendry, a childhood friend with whom she had lost touch. Clarelightskinned, beautiful, and charmingtells Irene how, after her fathers death, she left behind the black neighborhood of her adolescence and began passing for white, hiding her true identity from everyone, including her racist husband. As Clare begins inserting herself into Irenes life, Irene is thrown into a panic, terrified of the consequences of Clares dangerous behavior. And when Clare witnesses the vibrancy and energy of the community she left behind, her burning desire to come back threatens to shatter her careful deception.Brilliantly plotted and elegantly written, Passing offers a gripping psychological portrait of emotional extremity. The New York Times Book Review called Larsen "adroit at tracing the involved processes of a mind divided against itself, that fights between the dictates of reason and desire." The Saturday Review of Literature said, "[Larsen] has produced a work so fine, sensitive, and distinguished that it rises above race categories and becomes that rare object, a good novel."
