Publisher Description Quicksand 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 Sonokos husband into her own accomplice. Filled with intrigue and treacherous romance, readers will be entranced by Tanizakis seminal novel. At once savagely funny and timorously exact in its portrayal of sexual enthrallment, Quicksand is "beautifully and mysteriously contrived."-- Newsday Author Biography Junichiro Tanizaki was born in Tokyo in 1886 and lived there until the earthquake of 1923, when he moved to the Kyoto-Osaka region, the scene of his novel The Makioka Sisters (1943-48).
