Quicksand (Larsen novel)

Quicksand is the first novel by American author Nella Larsen, first published in 1928.[1] Out of print from the 1930s to the 1970s, Quicksand is a work that explores both cross-cultural and interracial themes. Larsen dedicated the novel to her husband.[2]

Jacquelyn Y. McLendon called this work the more "obviously autobiographical" of Larsen's two novels. Larsen called the emotional experiences of the novel "the awful truth" in a letter to her friend Carl van Vechten.[3]
