Beschreibung
Now a major Netflix film starring Tessa Thompson, Ruth Negga and Alexander Skarsgård
Childhood friends Clare and Irene are both light-skinned enough to pass as white, but only one of them has chosen to cross the colour line and live with the secret hanging over her. Clare believes she had successfully cut herself off from any connection to her past. Married to a racist white man who is oblivious to her African-American heritage, it is vital to her that the truth remains hidden. Irene is living as a middle-class Black woman with her husband and children in Harlem, taking on an important role in her community and embracing her origins.
Both women are forced to re-examine their relationships with each other, with their husbands and with the truth, confronting their most closely guarded fears. Nella Larsen's powerful, tragic and acutely observant writing established her as a lodestar of America's Harlem Renaissance. Almost a century later, Passing and its nuanced exploration of the many fraught ways in which we seek to survive remains as timely as ever
Rezensionen
<p>A groundbreaking novel of intersectionality ... tightly woven and plaintive</p>
Strangely, alarmingly moving. It gave shape and language to the racial ambivalence I experienced ... narrative may the best tool we have for binding together the disparate elements that make up the self
<p>Discovering the 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</p>
<p>Highly charged... an original and hugely insightful writer</p>
<p>Larsen'
<p>Absolutely absorbing, fascinating and indispensable</p>
