Description:

The Four-Chambered Heart is an autobiographical novel by French-born writer Anas Nin, part of
her Cities of the Interior sequence. It is about a woman named Djuna, her love, her thoughts, her
emotions, her doubts, her decisions, and her sacrifices.

About Author:

French-born novelist, passionate eroticist and short story writer, who gained international fame
with her journals. Spanning the years from 1931 to 1974, they give an account of one woman's
voyage of self-discovery. "It's all right for a woman to be, above all, human. I am a woman first of
all." (from The Diary of Anas Nin, vol. I, 1966)
Anas Nin was largely ignored until the 1960s. Today she is regarded as one of the leading female
writers of the 20th century and a source of inspiration for women challenging conventionally
defined gender roles.

People add up their physical mishaps, the stubbed toes, the cut finger, the burn scar, the fever,
the cancer, the microbe, the infection, the wounds and broken bones. They never add up the
accumulated bruises and scars of the inner lining, forming a complete universe of reactions, a
reflected world through which no event could take place without being subjected to a personal
private interpretation, through this kaleidoscope of memory, through the peculiar formation of the
psyche's sensitive photographic plates, to this assemblage of emotional chemicals through which
every word, every event, every experience is filtered, digested, deformed, before it is projected
again upon people and relationships."
yes yes yes. pure magic.
