About This Item
Mass Market Paperback. Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd. | | Mass Market Paperback | 160 p. | This book is brand new. | Language: Engelska --- Information regarding the book: 'The overlooked American writer who blows apart modern thinking on race' Telegraph Born to a white mother and an absent black father, and despised for her dark skin, Helga Crane has long had to fend for herself. As a young woman, Helga teaches at an all-black school in the South, but even here she feels different. Moving to Harlem and eventually to Denmark, she attempts to carve out a comfortable life and place for herself, but ends up back where she started, choosing emotional freedom that quickly translates into a narrow existence. Nella Larsen's powerful first novel, has intriguing autobiographical parallels and at the same time invokes the international dimension of African American culture of the 1920s. Slow, moving and reflective, Quicksand is a detailed and evocative portrayal of a biracial woman's inner life. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
