false 18348 10 This second volume of the unexpurgated version of Nin's diary spans the period from October 1932 to November 1934. It draws upon previously unpublished material from the period covered by the first volume of the diary as published in 1966. Incest follows Henry & June ( LJ 10/1/86), focusing not only on Nin's continued relationship with author Henry Miller but also on her physical and emotional attachments to four other men. Nin offers intimate details of disturbing events such as her intense incestuous affair with her father and her abortion during her sixth month of pregnancy. Her diary offers direct insight into a narcissistic, passionate, analytical, and complex mind, but the brief introduction does disappointingly little to explain the editorial process that created this version of Nin's diary, which differs dramatically in style and content from its expurgated counterpart. Nevertheless, this is an important supplement to the 1966 diary and is recommended for most literature collections. - Ellen Finnie Duranceau, MIT Lib. 19787 1958 Incest: From a Journal of Love : The Unexpurgated Diary of Anias Nin, 1932-1934 total:223|5:86|4:75|3:46|2:12|1:4| 223 896 338 25 5 0 false false Mon Mar 16 10:09:55 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 10:10:46 -0700 2009 Henry and June is probably the book to dip into for a taste of her journals: it captures the passion and joie de vivre that she’s famed for.

As Nin gets older, her Diary gets better and better. She is so insightful and intelligent: except when it comes to her relationship with Henry Miller. He bugs me, and the way she degrades herself for him bugs me even more.
