An Intimation of Things Distant: The Collected Fiction of Nella Larsen by Nella Larsen
5.0
"Discovering The Complete Fiction of Nella Larsen is like finding lost money with no name on it. One can enjoy it with delight and share it without guilt."
--Maya Angelou
So said, I cannot say it any better. My only wish is that there is more work yet to be discovered. She is simply one of the best writers of the 20th century. Period. I did not want any of the stories to stop. Quicksand, my favorite of the two short novels, I literally gasped when I turned to the final page. I had to stop for a few moments to pause and reflect. Brilliant Ms Larsen is, I want to wake her up from her slumber and ask her to Please please please write more!
