Publisher Description

Anais Nin wrote her diary at the end of 1931, at the close of a sexually tumultuous and emotional year as part of a ménage a trois with fellow writer Henry Miller and his beautiful wife June Mansfield.

'I really believe that if I were not a writer, not a creator, not an experimenter, I might have been a very faithful wife.' Nin's passionate and consuming relationship with Henry & June transformed a previously monogamous wife into an uninhibited and sexually liberated woman. Henry & June is a forthright and riveting account of a woman discovering her sensuality.

Our production is read by Cherie Lunghi. As a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company she has appeared in London and Stratford in many of its productions. Amongst her many film appearances have been Roland Joffe's 'The Mission', John Boorman's 'Excalibur' and Kenneth Branagh's 'Frankenstein'.

"Though I'm a huge Anais Nin journal fan, and though I certainly enjoy sexually explicit material, I had higher hopes for this, the unexpurgated version. I think it would be made infinitely better by the integration back into the main meat of the diary, so her *integrated* sexual encounters can be read in the context of her daily activities and musings, and not isolated from them."

    " This book kicked my ass. I will have to read it again to say anything sensical about it. Also would help to go through the previously published journals, this one was published after Nin's death. "

    " When I started reading this book, I really didn't know what to expect, but after starting I just couldn't stop. I liked how she purged herself in her diary and how devastating truthful she was in her love for Hugo her husband, Henry her lover and June her fantasy. "

    " This was a very formative book for me, and as I think about it now, helps explain how I frame relationships to this day. That's a scary bit of self realization, I have to say. "
