Based on Nin's dreams, the novel is a surrealistic look within the narrator's subconscious as she attempts to distance herself from a series of all-consuming and often taboo desires she cannot bear to let go. The incest Nin depicts is a metaphor--a selfish love wherein a woman can appreciate only qualities in a lover that are similar to her own. Through a descriptive exploration of romances and attractions between women, between a sister and her beloved brother, and with a Christ-like man, Nin's narrator discovers what she thinks is truth: that a woman's most perfect love is of herself. At first, this self-love seems ideal because it is attainable without fear and risk of heartbreak. But in time, the narrator's chosen isolation and self-possessed anguish give way to a visceral nightmare from which she is unable to wake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Swallow Press","offers":[{"title":"House of Incest | Anaïs Nin | Paperback | 0804001480 | Used: Good | Back Stacks E 1743458","offer_id":48180546011288,"sku":"1743458","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51k0mPWzjsL.jpg?v=1772226859","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/house-of-incest","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
