The heroine of Quicksand is first presented to us as a woman of rapid and contradictory mood-swings who seems torn between embracing her Black American identity and rejecting the confines it imposes. Her bi-racial heritage is treated as an objective explanation for her bi-polar personality. In Europe she is an exotic curiosity, cut off from Black culture; in America she finds that culture a prison. The ending shifts from Harlem to Alabama, and there is a brief hope that she will find meaning and purpose in a more traditional Black milieu, but this is yet another delusion. Critics frequently mention the autobiographical nature of this novel, which is a depressing thought.
