Plum Bun: A Novel Without a Moral by Jessi Redmon Fauset
4.0
"Was there something inherently wrong with passing?"
"...As in so many novels written by women, Blacks, and other members of literary subcultures, indirect strategies and narrative disguise become necessary covers for rebellious and subversive concerns...Plum Bun, like the protagonist whose story it tells, is passing. It passes for another novel of passing..." ~Deborah McDowell
