"I have never found a way to get what I want, except by lies"
- this sentence is the whole essence of this book.
I don't know how to explain this, except that women would probably relate more to Anais Nin's writing. She explores personal emotions that women don't talk of freely, nor even come to terms within them.
The story in itself isn't groundbreaking, but it's loaded with sentences and strangely convoluted multi layered, sensible irrationale, that's so weirdly relatable to a woman who can deconstruct the invisible picket fences around her.
Do I recommend this book?
~Only if you want to read it and want something more, other than just her quotes..though her quotes are good enough too.
Will I read any more Anais Nin?
~probably not.
It's not a light read, nor something you just idly pick up. The plot isn't really a plot, but a story, an explanation, justifications, questions and confusion. The sentences are short and intelligent, but it's not gripping, nor is it meant to.
So read if you want to experience Anais a little further.
