IN SEARCH OF NELLA LARSEN: A BIOGRAPHY OF THE COLOR LINE (Harvard University Press, $39.95), by George Hutchinson, delves into the life of one of the chief talents of the Harlem Renaissance. Larsen, author of QUICKSAND and PASSING, is thought by some literary critics to be one of the best Black novelists of her generation.
But just who was Larsen, mystery woman of the Renaissance? Hutchinson exposes a series of major errors in past biographies that he says grossly misrepresent her life and work.
