Status Updates From Quicksand and Passing

Finally! I finished “Quicksand” and while Helga’s indecisiveness irritated me, I had hoped for a happier ending. 😢 Now let’s see what “Passing” brings.

I finished Quicksand. I’ll have to come back to Passing in the future. ‘Quicksand’ is a classic of #bleakmodernism, terrifying for its relatability, the restless rootless shallowness if its central character, & heartbreaking in its depiction of what must have then been a common predicament. It’s terribly sad. I found this book a slow read for that reason.
