1936réf. 163655Paris: Siana Editions 1936. Inscribed to a "hell-cat with a tongue made of broken bottles and dipped in acid" First edition first printing presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Rebecca and Henry with affection Anaïs Paris 1936". This edition comprised 249 copies all numbered and signed by the author: this is number 67. It was Nin's "first best and most challenging volume of prose fiction" Franklin and Schneider. The recipient was Nin's friend Rebecca West the author and critic hailed as "indisputably the world's number one woman writer" by Time in 1947 and her husband the banker Henry Maxwell Andrews. West's literary opinions were strongly held and sharply worded. She called Tolstoy the "most bogus great writer of all time" declared "I am dead to Dante" and dismissed H. G. Wells the father of her child as "the old maid among novelists" Rollyson p. 10 Her friend and colleague at the Evening Standard once told her that she had the reputation of a "hell-cat with a tongue made of broken bottles and dipped in acid" ibid. Nin's diaries often refer to West including a recollection of their first encounter. West had written to Nin praising her first published work D. H. Lawrence: An Unprofessional Study 1932 and invited her to visit London. Nin accepted and an intense friendship blossomed. "I liked her immediately" recalled Nin "her warmth her brilliant dark eyes her wit. She visited me in Louveciennes. We talked so much together we lost our way in the forest and had to telephone to a friend to come and pick us up in a car. In Louveciennes she commented that she had never seen a house where deep talks could be treated so lightly." vol. 2 1966 p. 31ff. Despite their mutual admiration their friendship cooled in large part because of Nin's long-term relationship with Henry Miller. West despised Miller as both a writer and a person. "She first met him in Paris in Anaïs Nin's apartment. Rebecca happened to be passing the bathroom and heard a gurgling sound. She opened the door and there was Henry Miller committing suicide by drowning himself in the bathtub. 'So I pulled the plug and walked out' Rebecca confided to a friend. 'You know he never thanked me'" Rollyson ibid. The House of Incest is a prose poem "a book of dreams fantasies half-realities visions interior monologues and journeys; an esoteric description of a progress through experiences and relationships that actually represent the unnamed narrator dealing with her own multifaceted self" Franklin and Schneider p. 4. Tall octavo. Original cream wrappers lettered in black edges untrimmed. With original glassine. Spine ends slightly bumped and chipped short closed tear at head of front joint; glassine a little chipped with a few faint marks: a near-fine copy in like glassine. Wendy M.

réf. 9380New York: Crown Publishers 1976. Full Leather. Fine binding. Octavo. 160 pp. illus. First edition first printing thus. Full bound in burgundy morocco with blind-tooling sanding and dyed and acrylic-toned goat onlays. Top edge gilt with sgraffito designed. Hand-woven silk endbands. Housed in clamshell box. In this binding Brenda Gallagher has drawn from Boyce's erotic illustrations to render a beautifully blind-tooled drawing spanning both covers. Stamped onlays and sanded details bring the binding into perfect union with the text. Gallagher has subtly titled the cover by embedding both the author's name and title within the blind tooling. A remarkably designed and excellently executed binding capturing the spirit of Nin's prose and quite directly the character of Boyce's drawings. Gallagher is a design bookbinder and a graduate of the American Academy of Bookbinding. Crown Publishers unknown
