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 didnāt 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 itās from my university library and it hasnāt been checked out since 2004. (Broke the streak).

Miss AnaĆÆs Nin really serves it to us hot in her published journals. doesnāt hold back. Iām reading one now that I think her estate waited to publish after everyone involved was dead and honey I see why. I need to know what her sign was but I refuse to learn until I finish this book. I wish I could read the journals of people I know

Iāve had this infamous volume Incest: From a Journal of Love: The Unexpurgated Diary of AnaĆÆs Nin, for years; I honestly just bought it because of the provocative title and because I had heard of her but was unfamiliar with her or her work (sub-rec: finally reading the books you actually own that have been sitting on the shelf).
The concept of the narratives we create about our own lives has been on my mind lately as I write a narrative of my own; I was reminded of Nin when thinking about what Gore Vidal wrote (and didnāt write!) about her in his memoir, Palimpsest.
After reading interviews with her + and articles about her life and her approach to publishing her journals (linked)āand seeing myself in her ways of coping, processing, and engaging with the worldāIām very excited to interrupt my own languorous navel-gazing reflection during my protracted period of post-holiday down-time and delve into hers/become too intimately acquainted with her delusional girl persona. The title pretty much exactly shows what to expect here, so itās probably going to be an uncomfortable, gut-wrenching and painful read, to say the least, but it should be illuminatingā¦ pray for my stomach and my heart but itās a great place to start

Iāve recently been looking forward to Ethel Cains youtube videos. Each video consists of her sitting in her humble home and showing the audience some type of object. Her videos range from asmr, to art book hauls. Each having a different tone and whimsical appeal to them.
In this video she is reviewing a Marsona 1200A Sound Conditiner Machine. To which was recommended to her by a viewer on one her previous videos.
She explains as she plays around with the machine and itās tune. ā So when the surf rate is all the way up. It crashes faster, but if we turn it all the way down. It takes a little longer to reach that crestā.
