Cities of the Interior

Cities of the Interior is a novel sequence published in one volume containing the five books of Anaïs Nin's "continuous novel": Ladders to Fire, Children of the Albatross, The Four-Chambered Heart, A Spy in the House of Love and Seduction of the Minotaur.

Its central figures are three women resembling different aspects of the author, and in some superficial ways June Miller.

In some of the books they interact with each other, with a painter resembling Henry Miller and with South Americans resembling her friend, the Peruvian radical Gonzalo Moré, and his wife Helba.

Gore Vidal was impressed by both Ladders to Fire and Children of the Albatross, and played a role in their publication.
