«Incesto: diario amoroso» is Anaïs Nin's autobiographical novel, published by Siruela in paperback (492 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together the entries of Anaïs Nin's uncensored intimate diary from 1932 to 1934, where the author freely recounts her love affairs and psychoanalysis sessions. Unlike the fragments published in 1966, here the most explicit material that had been omitted appears for the first time, including the relationship with her father and the ties with Henry Miller, his wife June, Antonin Artaud, and her analysts René Allendy and Otto Rank. The work shows Nin's struggle to understand herself and to find salvation in writing, without masks or secrets.
It belongs to the cycle «From A Journal of Love» (position 2), published by Siruela in 1995 with a translation by José Luis Fernández-Villanueva Cencio.
Recommended for readers interested in confessional literature, intimate diaries, and the figure of Anaïs Nin.
Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell was a French-born American diarist, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica. Born to Cuban parents in France, Nin was the daughter of the composer Joaquín Nin and the classically trained singer Rosa Culmell. Nin spent her early years in Spain and Cuba, about sixteen years in Paris (1924–1940), and the remaining half of her life in the United States, where she became an established author.
