Spy in the House of Love
Spy in the House of Love | Anaļs Nin
6 posts | 14 read | 3 to read
Although Anais Nin found in her diaries a profound mode of self-creation and confession, she could not reveal this intimate record of her own experiences during her lifetime. Instead, she turned to fiction, where her stories and novels became artistic "distillations" of her secret diaries. "A Spy in the House of Love," whose heroine Sabina is deeply divided between her drive for artistic and sexual expression and social restrictions and self-created inhibitions, echoes Nin's personal struggle with sex, love, and emotional fragmentation. Written when Nin's own life was taut with conflicting loyalties, her protagonist Sabina repeatedly asks herself, can one idulge one's sensual restlessness, the fantasies, the relentless need for adventure without devastating consequences?

This is a modern tale of an open relationship told from a womanā€˜s perspective. It's fascinating.

So excited to start this book for an upcoming episode of Of Prurient Interest! And I love unexpected illustrations. Have y'all read any Nin? What were some of your favorites?

I had trouble with the magenta, but otherwise this #CMYK is pretty good. #colormepretty @Sweetkokoro

Good morning lovelies. šŸ–¤šŸŒ»

After a busy morning of cleaning and unhauling, I‘m going to settle down with my current reads and my first cup of morning tea. The babies are at nursery so I have a few hours of uninterrupted silence to read and relax. I‘m currently reading A Spy in the House Of Love, Far From the Madding Crowd and Bonjour Triesste. Have you read any of them? šŸ’šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø If not, what are you reading? #anaisnin #bookaddict #booklover
