Why do you think the narrator/Wolfe went back to the house where Grover died? Do you think the pilgrimage helped him?

Kim's next pick: "Passing"

I've been wanting to read this for some time. It's by Harlem Renaissance writer Nella Larsen, with whom I'm completely unfamiliar. I bought her complete works (only 300 pages) from Amazon, but you can also get "Passing" as a stand-alone book.

This intrigued me on Wikipedia: Recently, Passing has received renewed attention because of its close examination of racial and sexual ambiguities and liminal spaces. It has achieved canonical status in many American universities.
