The Complete Fiction of Nella Larsen: Passing, Quicksand, and the Stories by Nella Larsen
4.0
This is quite the engrossing read. The Complete Fiction of Nella Larsen consists of three short stories—The Wrong Man, Freedom, and Sanctuary—and two novels—Quicksand and Passing.
The parallel themes in these stories actually reflect Nella's own life. In particular, yearning for liberation from the suffocating confinements in one's life. I wish her writing journey lasted longer than it did. She had an intriguing writing style, especially how she explored the emotional states of her characters.
