Fire: From "A Journal of Love": The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1934-1937

Can't say that I'm a fan of Anais Nin. It's interesting to see how sexually liberated she was in a time period that's always portrayed as oppressed, but I found her to be self-centered. One minute she was happy, one minute she was sad. One minute she was an angel, another minute she was a devil. She saw herself as a muse to her lovers, and said that she could never harm people, but I saw a lot of harm and deception come through in her writing, as she was juggling numerous men around (sometimes sleeping with 3 guys in one days?!) and lying to all of them. I gave her 2 stars because she could turn a pretty phrase occasionally.
