Henry and June
Henry and June | Anaļs Nin
9 posts | 29 read | 13 to read
When Anais Nin met the writer Henry Miller, a man she though of as an intellectual giant, and his beautiful wife June Mansfield, her life was plunged into emotional and sexual turmoil. Her passionate involvement with both of them, which contrasted profoundly with her attachment to her husband Hugo, led to an inner conflict she was unable to resolve without help. Henry and June is the account, taken from her diaries, of this thrilling but impossible tangle of relationships and of Anais Nin's personal and sexual awakening.

A beautiful account of the love affair between Anais Nin and Henry Miller. Reads like poetry.

#day19 #lyricalapril #umathurman I love Anais Nin's writing.... and this movie adaptation with Uma Thurman as June, was OK but not much like this book! I'm sad that my copy is the Movie poster edition ā˜¹ļøWhy are they always so bad?!

Cinfhen Beautiful graphics šŸ’™it's amazing how many films Uma Thurman was in, right!?! šŸ˜‚I haven't seen this one or read the book....but if & when ,it will be the written version first! 7y

#riotgram Challenge Day 14 is #kissingbooks . I don't read a ton of romance, and most of the romantic suspense novels I had were in the box that got rained on one of the last times we moved, so I give you two of my favorite books: The Diary of AnaĆÆs Nin volume 1, 1931-1934, and Henry and June, the supposedly 'Unexpurgated Diary', 1931-1932. Each contains things the other does not. Best read together.

Everything with me is either worship and passion or pity and understanding. I hate rarely, though when I hate, I hate murderously. For example now, I hate the bank and everything connected with it. I also hate Dutch paintings, penis-sucking, parties, and cold rainy weather. But I am much more preoccupied with loving.

"Her role in life alone preoccupies her. I knew the reasons: her beauty brings dramas and events to her. Ideas mean little. I saw in her a caricature of the theatrical and dramatic personage. Costume, attitudes, talk. She is a superb actress. No more. I could not grasp her core." (IG: dedalus_photo)

Zakia I adore Nin! Glad someone else finds her words inspirational ā¤ļø 8y
PurityofEssence @Zakia Nin is one of my absolute favorites! She captures the psychological complexity of sexuality and sexual objectification without sacrificing accessibility. It's absolutely amazing. She was a person of rare skill and intelligence, and I admire her greatly. 8y
Zakia @PurityofEssence I agree. Her form and style are so effortless. I have yet to treat myself to her exquisite diaries. Her novels were my favourite at Uni. 8y
