More About the Author
Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) was born in Paris and aspired at an early age to be a writer. An influential artist and thinker, she wrote primarily fiction until 1964, when her last novel, Collages, was published. She wrote The House of Incest, a prose-poem (1936), three novellas collected in The Winter of Artifice (1939), short stories collected in Under a Glass Bell (1944), and a five-volume continuous novel consisting of Ladders to Fire (1946), Children of the Albatross (1947), The Four-Chambered Heart (1950), A Spy in the House of Love (1954), and Seduction of the Minotaur (1961). These novels were collected as Cities of the Interior (1974). She gained commercial and critical success with the publication of the first volume of her diary (1966); to date, fifteen diary volumes have been published. Her most commercially successful books were her erotica published as Delta of Venus (1977) and Little Birds (1979). Today, her books are appearing digitally.

GOLCONDA, HERE I COME!,
By discod841 (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seduction Of The Minotaur: V5 In Nin'S Continuous Novel (Vol V) (Paperback)
Anais has done it again. A book which captures the reader's need for sensual, lyrical description as well as having the ability to allow common emotional themes to transcend the two covers, Nin paints for us the city of Golconda, Mexico, with its poor but happy natives and sweltering tropical escapism. The main character, Lillian, is a jazz musician who travels to Golconda for a 3 month stint and along the way rediscovers the beauty of Mexico she knew as a child, of the wise and natural existence known to those she meets, and the demons she must exercise from her own past. A beautiful exploration into human existence. If you liked Anais' diaries, try this story...you will see links into her own past. And perhaps, even yours.
