Just go this book, Nin is my favorite writer. Delta Venus erotica was my first book I read from her. Today I got her diary from the twenties, volume 2, to be exact. I didn’t know but there was different volumes, which are different eras of her life being written by her. I took a picture of the library checkout because it’s from my university library and it hasn’t been checked out since 2004. (Broke the streak).
This might be one of the best books I've ever read. Like any great piece of art, every concept and theme is interwoven and unfolds endlessly.
Is it a feminist text about what it means to be a woman who gives so much of herself to others who won't get well?
Is it a book about an artist's relationship to reality?
Is living in "the dream" an immaterial, irresponsible vice, or a profound act of courage and life in the modern world?
Is it beautiful look into the culture of the inter-war period?
Is Anais Nin just the most compelling character in her own life(and perhaps yours)?
You'll have to read it to find out!
Thanks @TATERHOLE for getting me into it!
Yum yum yum! Refreshing.
My ideal recipe is—
Icy cold glass rimmed with Tajin
Tons of lemon juice
Sparkling water
Salt, to taste
Watch it fizz like a potion!
