Mirroring Wallace Thurmans The Blacker the Berry A Novel of Negro Life, Passing (1929) is the phenomenal sophomore novel of Nella Larsen.On an ordinary day, Irene Redfield receives an unexpected letter from her old friend, Clare Kendry. Clare, having long ago crossed the color line, writes to Irene about the loneliness she feels in her new white life and asks to see her again. Conflicted about the request, yet curious all the same, Irene accepts the invitation and the two go out to lunch.
