From one of the greatest writers of twentieth-century Japan comes a silkily nuanced novel of erotic gamesmanship and obsession. The voice-cultured, ingenuous, and with a touch of coquetterie-is that of Sonoko Kakiuchi, an Osaka lady of good family married to a dully respectable lawyer. | Quicksand by Junichiro Tanizaki, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
