520    Two months before he died of cancer, renowned literary 
       critic Anatole Broyard called his grown son and daughter 
       to his side, to reveal a secret he had kept all their 
       lives and most of his own: he was black. His daughter 
       Bliss learned that her WASPy, privileged Connecticut 
       childhood had come at a price. Ever since his own parents,
       New Orleans Creoles, had moved to Brooklyn and began to 
       "pass" in order to get work, Anatole had learned to 
       conceal his racial identity. As he grew older and entered 
       the ranks of the New York literary elite, he maintained 
       the facade. Now Bliss tries to make sense of his choices 
       and the impact of this revelation on her own life. She 
       searches out the family she never knew in New York and New
       Orleans, and considers the profound consequences of racial
       identity.
