This week was full of events and gatherings with coworkers. I am still recovering from all the socialising, but it was fun connecting with folks.
Here’s my reading highlight:
Passing by Nella Larsen
3 stars
I read the movie adaptation turned book version. The beginning was a bit slow, but it got much interesting from the middle onwards.
The notion of three Black women: one who actively pretends to be white despite the risks, one who’s white passing but has chosen to remain within the African American community and a third who married a white man who fully acknowledges her racial identity, should have been explored further. The book is overall a great thought starter on the topics of race, femininity, jealousy, and friendship.
