From the Black educational world of Naxos to Chicago, Harlem, Copenhagen, and the rural American South, Helga moves through societies that alternately exoticize, patronize, discipline, desire, and confine her. Larsen's novel is brief, elegant, and devastating in its study of a woman caught between communities, identities, and incompatible visions of freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1928, \u003cem\u003eQuicksand\u003c\/em\u003e belongs at the centre of modern American fiction, African American literature, women's writing, and psychological realism. Larsen gives Helga Crane's inner life unusual force: her pride, intelligence, loneliness, aesthetic hunger, sexual unease, anger, and longing for escape are rendered with restraint and precision. For readers of Harlem Renaissance fiction, classic American literature, Black women writers, modernist fiction, and novels of identity and self-division, \u003cem\u003eQuicksand\u003c\/em\u003e remains one of the most important rediscovered works of the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43426653175875,"sku":"9781515432425","price":28.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/quicksand-a-harlem-renaissance-novel-of-race-identity-and-restless-desire-hardcover","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
