Quicksand

• Used Book in Good Condition

<i>Quicksand</i> is a silkily nuanced novel of erotic gamesmanship and obsession. Sonoko Kakiuchi, an Osaka lady of a good family, married to a dully respected lawyer, tells a story of temptation and betrayal. Sonoko is infatuated with the beautiful art student and femme fatale Mitsuko, a woman so seductive and heartless she can even turn Sonoko's husband into her own accomplice. Filled with intrigue and treacherous romance, readers will be entranced by Tanizaki’s seminal novel. <br><br>  <br> At once savagely funny and timorously exact in its portrayal of sexual enthrallment, <i>Quicksand</i> is “beautifully and mysteriously contrived.”—<i>Newsday</i>
