In this book review, I go over some themes and characters from the lesser-known novella Passing. It’s a classic of the Harlem Renaissance and American literature at large, and I was not disappointed.

I really like the way you speak and how you introduced the author and the book. I didn’t watch the whole vlog for spoilers as I plan to read the book myself. 🙂 I’d like to read some more from the Harlem Renaissance and that time period in general. So much to read! 🙂 Anyway I’ll look fwd to hearing it after.
