About this title: Originally published in 1936, House of Incest is Anais Nin's first work of fiction. The novel is a surrealistic look within the narrator's subconscious mind as she attempts to escape from a dream in which she is trapped, or in Nin's words, as she attempts to escape from "the woman's season in hell." In the documentary Anais Observed, Nin says House of Incest was based on dreams she'd had for more than a year.

"It had been quite some time since I read this, so I decided to give it another go. As in the past, I found myself loving the language and imagery. And, also as in the past, I found myself challenged by the content. Although I understand more than when I was a teenager, there is still a great deal that isn't clear. That's part of why I like this so much, though. I like to be challenged by literature. I like to find myself feeling and thinking and moving outside of my comfort zone. I like things that poke my brainmeats and get lodged therein, and leave me pondering for days months years later."
