You know I read her erotica "Delta of Venus" in the eighties and it was interesting. Not as interesting as Dworkin but I still got it. I tried to read "A woman speaks" I though it should have been titled "A woman never shuts up" The number of times that she tells her interviewer that she has completely misunderstood "The diaries" was just ridiculous. I know The diaries are impenetrable. Nin's style of writing is not made for anyone to understand. Very disappointing.
The few books I read were pretty clear. She brings to the surface taboo thoughts we all have and paints them as if there were not oppressive social mores. To write a happening of molestation and make it beautiful is a pretty amazing talent. To be free of guilt and to freely express oneself , sexually and intellectually is something I have always wanted.
As profound as ever, Anaïs Nin was, and is, the voice that should never be silenced. Her words will always inspire me and hopefully all others who listen closely.
This woman is is towering. I celebrate her talent, her touch. And hearing this, her own voice, I realize her great humour too. The Diaries changed my life.
