Haunting and hypnotic, these five novels by Ana s Nin began in 1946 to appear in quiet succession. Though published separately over the next fifteen years, the five were conceived as a continuous experience-a continuous novel like Proust's, real and flowing as a river. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The full impact of Ana s Nin's genius is only to be found through reading the novels in context and in succession. They form a rich, luminous tapestry whose overall theme Nin has called \"woman at war with herself.\" Characters, symbols appear and reappear: now one, now another unfolding, gradually revealing, changing, struggling, growing, and Nin had forged an evocative language all her own for the telling. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The diary taught me that there were no neat ends to novels, no neat denouement, no neat synthesis,\" she explains. \"So I began an endless novel, a novel in which the climaxes consisted of discoveries in awareness, each step in awareness becoming a stage in the growth like the layers in trees.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eCities of the Interior\u003c\/i\u003e fulfills a long-time desire on the part of readers, publisher, and Ana s Nin herself to reunite the five novels in a single volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804006668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.54w x 1.26d","brand":"Ana\u0026#239;s Nin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643745595548,"sku":"9780804006668","price":28.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1833efbb-8b0c-4fed-9e24-398429464c1c.jpg?v=1603857197","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cities-of-interior-contains-5-volumes-in-nins-continuous-9780804006668","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
