"Strange double journey, for my Diary continues for me to be the secret confessional, while at the same time half of it has been made public."
Nin's Diaries as originally issued at her own direction cover the period from 1931-1974, and constitute a major unified work of art for which she is justly renowned. This final volume begins in 1966, the year the first Diary volume was published and Nin's mainstream celebrity exploded, and consequently marks Nin's shift from recording her secret experiments in the "laboratory of the soul" to what inevitably became a "correspondence with the world. Was this what I really wanted?"
