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.

Sounds very cool. Ordering it now.
ReplyDeleteI figured we could start discussing the first week of August, if that's OK with everyone.
ReplyDeleteThat works for me. Looking forward to it!
