Anas Nin's Incest  reveals secrets so shocking that they were suppressed even when she began publishing her diaries in 1966. Exploring a woman's love life with rarely equalled candour, subtlety and insight, Nin deals openly with a variety of sexual relationships and unsparingly with their complex psychological consequences. Incest  is not only the story of her shadowy relationship with her renowned pianist father, Joaquin Nin but also affairs with two analysts, the writer Antonin Artaud; serious infatuations with two cousins, one of them a girl all at the time as she was married to a Paris financier. . .
