House Of Incest
Review by Colette Bennett If "Henry & June" was the woman's quest to understand life in it's deepest form erotically, "Incest" is the journey to true humanity-through means creative, emotional, sexual, even spiritual. Anais perhaps does not realize the depth and meaning of a talismanic statement she uses only in passing in this journal: "Above all to creation." As her life forms itself out of her art and understanding of art as the personification of being ,she creates herself as the human true to the self without guilt. She grants herself the gift of absolute sight and grasp, of love unrestricted by boundary or document. We are shown the ultimate archetype of all relationships as she allows herself to understand them, including her reunion with her father, which being such an immense statement in itself, I leave for the reader to absorb.-"Incest" is a rich and complex book, beyond the simpler sexuality of "Henry & June" An incredible testament to spiritual growth, it is a book that must be read more than once. It has different universes to offer to each person. Which one you allow yourself to discover, as Miss Nin has so intimately shown us, is entirely up to you. I begin to love as a human being,and the game ceases. - Incest Paperback/1958 |

Under Glass Bell (Swallow Paperbook)
Reviewer: A reader from Sydney, Australia In this intoxicating collection of short stories, Anais Nin delves into the lush imagery of dreams. Her stories touch on issues we carry deep within our unconscious - ideas of ephemerality, sexual identity, experiences of childhood and many others. Her passion for "transmutation" is evident, as she blends a dream-like hyper-reality into incisive observations of the human experience. Whether exploring human suffering, the fields of memory or the awakenings of artisitc awareness, Nin's writing uncovers new layers of meaning. Her stories seem to glow with a sublime light. This is a slim book, but it begs several re-readings. It will draw you back, both for its excellent example of one woman's contribution to the modernist literary movement, and for its pure lyricism. Nin's imagery will haunt you long after you've turned the last page. This review is by Katrina Zaat-it also appears on amazon.com and is copied with her permission. Paperback/1995 |
