Anais Nin: A Sea of Lies page 53

Anais Nin: A Sea of Lies may have been my favorite read of 2023.

Leonie Bischoff masterfully told the biographical tale of Anais Nin, an author famous for her erotic literature.

My copy somehow arrived early from Fantagraphics and, after reading through the beautiful pages, I began the hunt to add the art to my collection.

It took some figuring out, but Leonie's Instagram provided the clues I needed to find the gallery repping some of her work.

Here we have a vibrant, but melancholy, page presenting a scene of Anais Nin & June Miller's burgeoning relationship.

The book is thoroughly adult in nature and deals with some challenging topics, such as adultery, incest, miscarriage/abortion, but it's a powerful, gorgeous work, which I can't recommend enough, if you can handle such material.
