Nella Larsen was born in Chicago in 1891 to a white Danish mother and a black West Indian father. She studied in America and Denmark and, throughout her writing career, she worked as a children’s librarian and a nurse. In 1928 her first novel, Quicksand, was published to great critical acclaim. Passing was published a year later. Her marriage brought her into contact with the upper echelons of New York’s black society and she became an important voice of the Harlem Renaissance.
