2004réf. 84362powerHouse Books. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 96 pages 20 illustrations; 8 vo. -- with a bonus offer--; Iconic erotic writer Anais Nin wrote of feminist artist Judy Chicago in the seventh volume of her Diaries "Our first meeting was very interesting. I was intimidated by Judy's powerful personality. She was intimidated by the lady of the Diaries.But what happened is that we immediately felt a tenderness and recognized that we needed each other." From this encounter a personal friendship and professional alliance flowered and continued to bloom until Nin's death in 1977. Nin a feminist of the first wave considered Chicago her "radical daughter." Where Nin was graceful Chicago was confrontational. Where Nin was evocative Chicago was provocative. Yet both sought the same goal: freedom for female self-expression unfettered by the constraints of patriarchal posturing. Their relationship - a dialogue between the early and latter halves of the twentieth century - helped Chicago transcend her internalized taboos and fully express her creative power. As a tribute to the legacy of her mentor Chicago shares some of her memories of their encounters in her introduction to Fragments From The Delta Of Venus a collection of twenty artworks pairing Chicago's sensuous watercolor images with extremely evocative phrases from Nin's famed collection of stories. The book promises to be a breakthrough in the history of erotic art which - for centuries - has belonged almost exclusively to male artists and a male audience. Fragments From The Delta Of Venus might be said to be a continuation of Chicago and Nin's earlier dialogue illuminating in both images and words the powerful fantasies and desires of the female mind. Fragments From The Delta Of Venus will be released on Valentine's Day 2004 perfectly timed to warm your lover's heart - and more. . 2004. 1576871827 . powerHouse Books hardcover

1948réf. 144891New York: E.P. Dutton & Company 1948. First edition of this landmark novel from the library of Anais Nin. Octavo original black cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Accompanied by a clipped dedication page that reads "For Anais Nin" boldly signed by Vidal laid in. Gore Vidal and Anais Nin's friendship emerged from their shared commitment to challenging the literary and cultural orthodoxies of mid-twentieth-century America. While Vidal’s incisive social satire and Nin’s lyrical explorations of erotic subjectivity differed in style both writers pursued themes of identity and transgression which created a foundation of mutual admiration. In fine condition. From the library of Anais Nin. An exceptional association linking these two great writers. Stylistically influenced by Hemingway this work "is distinguished by its honesty and lack of self-pity; the central figure is unexceptional in every respect but his sexual choices" Stringer 690. "One of the best novels of its kind. . . . It isnt sentimental and it is frank without trying to be sensational and shocking" Christopher Isherwood. E.P. Dutton & Company hardcover

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.

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
