Originally published in 1936,House of Incestis Anaïs Nin’s first work of fiction. Based on Nin’s dreams, the novel is a surrealistic look within the narrator’s subconscious as she attempts to distance herself from a series of all-consuming and often taboo desires she cannot bear to let go. The incest Nin depicts is a metaphor—a selfish love wherein a woman can appreciate only qualities in a lover that are similar to her own. Through a descriptive exploration of romances and attractions between women, between a sister and her beloved brother, and with a Christ-like man, Nin’s narrator discovers what she thinks is truth: that a woman’s most perfect love is of herself. At first, this self-love seems ideal because it is attainable without fear and risk of heartbreak. But in time, the narrator’s chosen isolation and self-possessed anguish give way to a visceral nightmare from which she is unable to wake.

Recenzii
"House
of
Incestis
a
strange
and
challenging
work
that
demands
the
full
attention
of
the
reader.
It
is
not
so
much
a
story
of
people
(although
it
certainly
is
that)
as
it
is
a
visit
into
the
hellish
nightmare
of
the
narrator's
experience
from
which
she
emerges
satisfactorily.
But,
however
one
approaches
the
work,House
of
Incestis
Nin's
best
work
of
fiction
and
one
that
contains
most
of
her
basic
themes,
images
and
patterns
that
she
would
use
in
her
later
work."—Benjamin

Notă biografică
Anaïs
Nin(1903–1977)
is
an
iconic
literary
figure
and
one
of
the
most
notable
experimental
writers
of
the
twentieth
century.
As
one
of
the
first
women
to
explore
female
erotica,
Nin
revealed
the
inner
desires
of
her
characters
in
a
way
that
made
her
works
a
touchstone
for
later
feminist
writers.
