The incestuous affair between the writer Anaïs Nin and her father,
the pianist-composer JoaquÃn Nin, is well documented in the volume
of her unexpurgated diary published under the title Incest. What
has been missing from that account is JoaquÃn's point of view.
Reunited: The Correspondence of Anaïs and JoaquÃn Nin, 1933-1940
presents more than one hundred intimate communications between
these two artistic geniuses, revealing not only the dynamics of
their complex relationship but also why Anaïs spent her life in a
never-ending battle to feel loved, appreciated, and understood.
Reunited collects the correspondence between Anaïs and JoaquÃn
just before, during, and after the affair, which commenced in 1933,
twenty years after he had abandoned his ten-year-old daughter and
the rest of his family. These letters were long believed to have
been destroyed and lost to history. In 2006, however, a folder
containing JoaquÃn's original letters to his daughter was
discovered in Anaïs's Los Angeles home, along with a second folder
of her letters to him. Together, these letters tell the story of an
absent father's attempt to reconnect with his adult daughter and
how that rapprochement quickly turned into an illicit sexual
relationship.
