I had planned to read Larsen's entire work since I fell in love with Passing. There isn't much, only two novellas (Passing and Quicksand) and three short stories, but all very impressive. You shouldnt read her in a bad mood, though, since they can be quite distressing. I didn't like Quicksand quite as much as Passing, but I appreciated the raw emotions, fascinating themes and autobiographical approach a lot. The short stories were really effective as well. The topic of beeing black in America is always present, but there are so many variants of it and so many other themes to explore in this.
