The novels' greatest appeal and achievement, however, is not sociological, but psychological. As noted in the editor's comprehensive introduction, Larsen takes the theme of psychic dualism, so popular in Harlem Renaissance fiction, to a higher and more complex level, displaying a sophisticated understanding and penetrating analysis of black female psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Quicksand and Passing | Nella Larsen | Paperback | 9780813511702 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1680251","offer_id":48313125568664,"sku":"1680251","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81sahpoUnQL.jpg?v=1771920882","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/quicksand-and-passing","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
