E così è diventata maestra, non lascia traccia, attenta ai sotterfugi, come una spia nella casa dell'amore.
Il libro è molto bello, interessante la ricerca di se stessa attraverso falsi amori. Qualche pecca però c'è. Gli uomini presentati sembrano quasi usciti da un catalogo, tutti molto diversi senza alcun punto in comune. E poi le descrizioni dei sentimenti, quasi barocche, con troppe infiorettature.
Insomma, bello ma avrei apprezzato più riflessioni e meno pizzi e merletti e falci di luna.

******************************************************************************
During my literary travel throughout erotic literature, after Lady Chatterley and Marguerite Duras, I run into Anais Nin. Maybe one of the most important erotic writers. This novel tells the travel of a woman to discover herself through sex. Four different man for one woman, always different for each one of them. Mother, wife, merely sexual passion, or just the other woman. She feels divided, incomplete, no one gives her true love. AS soon as she expresses her feelings, her desire to be herself, to emerge by the role men give her, the relationship falls into a crisis. Because love isn't static, bu is perpetual movement.
That's why she is a master, she doesn't leave traces, like A spy in the house of love.
The novel is beautiful, the search of herself through false loves is interesting. There are a few flaws. The men look like taken by a catalogue, totally different with zero things in common. And then the description of feelings, almost baroque, too much "decorated".
In the end, beautiful but I would appreciate more considerations and less "laces" and crescent moons.
