UN HIVER D'ARTIFICE: Trois Nouvelles
Editions des Femmes, 1976. Wraps. Inscribed by Anaïs Nin on the front flyleaf. The author's second published book, which she twice revised with alternating novelettes. This French-language edition opens with a film star, Stella, studying her own, but alien, image on the screen. It ends in the Manhattan office of a psychoanalyst - the Voice - who, as he counsels patients suffering from the maladies of modern life, reveals himself as equally susceptible to them. The middle, title story explores one of Nin’s most controversial themes, that of a woman’s sexual relationship with her father. Octavo: 233 p. Original printed paper wrappers. Some mild fading along the extremities; else very good or better. Very good. Item #75521
