The House of Incest. First edition, limited issue, 34 of 249 printed. This copy is inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To John Goodwin, in answer to, 'There is no warmth / Here in the woods / Only the tremendous fire / Only the frustrating fever / The scattered tombs of thought / Presaging the will to die.' / Anaïs Nin." The House of Incest is a prose poem, "a book of dreams, fantasies, half-realities, visions, interior monologues, and journeys; an esoteric description of a progress through experiences and relationships that actually represent the unnamed narrator dealing with her own multifaceted self". (Franklin and Schneider, p. 4).
