An interesting story about being black and passing as white. I hadn't heard the ter passing before and that it was an actual ter used. A lot like The vanishing half in essence (or should I say the other way around as it was published in 1929) but I liked the half better. Bit short and could maybe have done with some more fleshing out, but good.
