Quicksand by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki

Quicksand by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki

Scripture is littered with names and faces who were marginalized by society. Touched by shame, each partnered with a lie, led along by a cloud of resentment. Not much has changed. We don't have to live like this. Jesus proved it with actions far louder than words. Follow me on a journey of investigation and introspection as we take a look at these throwaways and celebrate how their worth was validated on the spot. His love will give you courage to be honest. His love will give you courage to be transparent. His love will give you courage to love yourself. That's when the change happens. When we let Him see us, then we will see them. Except they won't be them anymore. They'll be us. Revived. Shamelessly.

Junichiro Tanizaki was born in Tokyo in 1886 and lived in the city until the earthquake of 1923, when he moved to the Kyoto-Osaka region, the scene of one of his most well-known novels, The Makioka Sisters (1943-48). The author of over twenty books, including Naomi (1924), Some Prefer Nettles (1928), Arrowroot (1931), and A Portrait of Shunkin (1933), Tanizaki also published translations of the Japanese classic, The Tale of Genji in 1941, 1954, and 1965. Several of his novels, including Quicksand (1930), The Key (1956), and Diary of a Mad Old Man (1961) were made into movies. He was awarded Japan's Imperial Prize in Literature in 1949, and in 1965 he became the first Japanese writer to be elected as an honorary member of the American Academy and the National Institute of Arts and Letters. Tanizaki died in 1965.
