Each week we feature a noted Fiction Factory production.
PASSING
In 1920s America it was something of a fashion for upwardly-aspiring middle class black women to pass for white. Nella Larsen’s novel investigates this psychologically and socially high-risk strategy in intimate and sometimes shocking close-up.
‘Passing is a novel that I will never forget. It opens up a whole world of experience and struggle that seemed to me, when I first read it years ago, absolutely absorbing, fascinating and indispensable’ Alice Walker
