In the middle looms a period Nin describes as hell  during which she experiences a kind of erotic madness  a delirium that fuels her search for love. As a child suffering abandonment by her father  Anas wrote  Close your eyes to the ugly things  and  against a horrifying backdrop of war and death  Nin combats the worlds darkness with her own search for light. Mirages collects  for the first time  the story that was cut from all of Nins other published diaries  particularly volumes 3 and 4 of The Diary of Anas Nin  which cover the same time period. It is the long-awaited successor to the previous unexpurgated diaries Henry and June  Incest  Fire  and Nearer the Moon. Mirages answers the questions Nin readers have been asking for decades: What led to the demise of Nins love affair with Henry Miller? Just how troubled was her marriage to Hugh Guiler? What is the story behind Nins children  the effeminate young men she seemed to collect at will? Mirages is a deeply personal story of heartbreak  despair  desperation  carnage  and deep mourning  but it is also one of courage  persistence  evolution  and redemption that reaches beyond the personal to the universal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647023734837,"sku":"ByrdShop_080401146X","price":29.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780804011464.jpg?v=1781685985","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mirages-the-unexpurgated-diary-of-anas-nin-19391947-9780804011464","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
