HENRY AND JUNE

BY ANAIS NïN
1986

I love to journal but Anais Nin LOVED to journal! Taken from her uncensored diaries, the book is an account of her love affair with writer Henry Miller and his wife, June, set in the uber-romantic Paris of 1932. 

Over-indulgent and ruthlessly erotic, I enjoyed it most when reading it out of order. One delicious page at a time. 

“His violent, aggressive manhood pursues me. I taste that violence with my mouth, with my womb. Crushed against the earth with the man over me, possessed until I want to cry out.” 

― Anais Nin
