** spoiler alert ** I love how Nin writes; so tangibly and sensuous. She writes about ugly, terrible, taboo things and makes it so damn beautiful and romantic and sexy. And, of course, with a bravery and exposure that I'm not sure I've ever seen paralleled!

Nin is all feminine and is a fantastic example of the female writer. Analytical, emotional, insightful, psychological, relational, personal, strong, beautiful, asthetic, narrative, dynamic, non-linear. I find her very exciting to read.

i also found her inspiring. Her fearlessness to bare what was ugly about herself, to look so bravely into her true drives and desires inspired me to take my journaling to a new depth. Herein I learned so much more about who i am, things long buried and denied. it freed me to make bold choices that previously were not even acknowledged as choices! Because of this book i left my marriage and became integrated with my femininity and sensuality and here I am now-never happier!...and I didn't even need to fuck my father to get there!
