About this listen

Nella Larsen's "Quicksand" paints a poignant portrait of Helga Crane, a young woman grappling with her mixed racial heritage in the 1920s. Caught between societal expectations and her yearning for identity, Helga navigates different settings–the segregated South, bustling Harlem, and even Denmark–searching for a place to belong. Yet, societal constraints and her own internal struggles leave her feeling trapped, like sinking in quicksand. Through Helga's journey, Larsen explores themes of race, class, and the search for self in a world fraught with prejudice and limited options.
