Drawn from her original, uncensored journals, this is an intimate account of Anais Nin's sexual
awakening. It covers a single momentous year--from 1931 to the end of 1932.
- Incest: From "A Journal of Love" : The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin,
1932-1934
read an excerpt
Disquieting yet magnetic, Incest continues the story begun in the best-selling Henry and June to
reveal a woman's struggle to come to terms with herself for the "ultimate transgression"--and to
find salvation in the very act of writing.
- Fire: From "A Journal of Love" : The Unexpurgated Diary, 1934-37
The diary which Anais Nin would eventually call Fire begins when she is newly arrived in New
York City. Chronicling her unfulfilled marriage, affairs with Henry Miller and psychoanalyst Otto
Rank, she confesses to her diary: "I'm awaiting a lover. I'm restless." "Erotically
charged." --Publishers Weekly
Less shocking than Incest (1992), the third volume of Nin's provocative and provoking uncensored diaries finds our madly scribbling
femme fatale in New York, where she's gone to get away from her doggedly loyal husband and from adored lover Henry Miller and
indulge her fancy for analyst Otto Rank. Once again, Nin is blithely honest about her profound dishonesty, admitting that she loves telling
"marvelous lies" to the men who desire her. She tires of Rank just as Miller and her husband catch up with her, then, suddenly, enters a
whole new realm of potent romance with a fiery man of Inca descent, Gonzalo More. More, a man of conscience and lyrical intensity,
inspires Nin to new poetic and mystical heights. These unexpurgated volumes are of particular interest to readers of the original published
versions because they fill in so many puzzling omissions, but they are also remarkable for their audacity and prolificity. Just one page of
Nin's extraordinary diaries contains more sex, melodrama, fantasies, confessions, and observations than most novels, and reflects much
about the human psyche we strive to repress.

- Nearer The Moon: From "A Journal of Love"
The Unexpurgated Diary of Anais Nin 1937-1939
with a preface by Rupert Pole and biographical notes and annotations by G. Stuhlmann.
In the fourth volume of her galvanizing unexpurgated diaries, Nin, now in her mid-thirties, achieves a deeper understanding of herself, her
need to keep her infamous diaries, and her complex and demanding relationships with Hugo, her loyal husband; Henry Miller, the cosmic
force in her fervent universe; and Gonzalo More, her most sensual and passionate lover. As Nin tirelessly and eloquently analyzes each man
and what he means to her, she shares luminous and provocative thoughts on the perversity of jealousy, the mystery of eroticism, the
unruliness of love, and the gnawing need to write, to at least make sense, if not art, out of experience. As Nin matures and her journal
deepens, the magnificence of her literary achievement emerges. Nin is the Proust of diary-keepers, and the creator of a revolutionary
psychological documentary of a truly remarkable and unsettling personality.
