Sobre este producto
- Quicksand tells the story of Helga Crane, a school teacher living and working in the southern United States shortly after World War I. Helga is of mixed ancestry. Her mother was originally from Denmark and her father was from the West Indies. Helga becomes dissatisfied with her life and work so she breaks off her engagement and moves to Chicago to seek out her uncle for support while she looks for a new job. She goes to his house to discover he has married a woman who is rude to her and tells her to never return. She eventually finds work as a personal assistant to a lecturer and travels with her to Harlem. Initially happy with her life in New York, she becomes disillusioned with the hypocrisy of her friends there. After receiving an unexpected letter from her uncle in Chicago, she decides to travel to Demark to her mother’s family there. While welcoming and wealthy, she also begins to feel exoticized and struggles to see a future there. Helga returns to Harlem, where she runs into her former boss from her days as a school teacher. Believing they will start an affair, she meets him in the lobby of her hotel. His rejection angers and embarrasses her. To try to clear her head, she leaves the hotel, despite a storm, and eventually finds shelter at a store-front revival where she experiences a religious conversion. Again, Helga completely changes her life. She marries the church leader, Reverend Green, moves with him to the rural southern United States, and has several children. The novel ends with Helga feeling that familiar dissatisfaction with the life she has chosen. Quicksand explores several themes relating to identity, including race and gender, and how those drive a character’s happiness. It is an insightful story about the choices we make and the choices we feel we are forced to make given the options we have.
