Initially, Nin meant Sabina to be based on her friend June Miller, and wrote House of Incest with Sabina standing in for June.

In June 1949, Anaïs Nin recorded a full version of House of Incest and four other stories from Under a Glass Bell.

But unlike her diaries and erotica, House of Incest does not detail the author's relationships with famous lovers like Henry Miller, nor does it contain graphic depiction of sex.

Rather, House of Incest is a surrealistic look within the narrator's subconscious mind as she attempts to escape from a dream in which she is trapped, or in Nin's words, as she attempts to escape from " the woman's season in hell.

Nin was under the analysis of Otto Rank during the period of writing House of Incest.

Rank helped Anaïs edit House of Incest.

House of Incest is largely an attempt by the narrator to cope with the shock of the trauma of birth.

In Anaïs Nin: An Introduction, authors Duane Schneider and Benjamin Franklin V both argue that the basic theme of House of Incest is that ultimately life in the real world, which contains both pleasure and pain, is preferable to any self-created world that attempts to include only pleasure.

In this, they offer the passage from House of Incest wherein Anaïs Nin writes, " Worlds self made are so full of monsters and demons.

The prose of House of Incest is considered by many to be one of the major challenges of the work.

Duane Schneider and Benjamin Franklin V write that the prose of House of Incest is so challenging that it requires the total attention of the reader.

It has been written that at the time of the publication of " House of Incest ," which took place at around the same time that Anaïs Nin was having an incestuous relationship with her father, some members of the Nin family who knew about the incestuous relationship were " horrified " to know that Anaïs Nin was writing a book with this title.

* In the documentary film Anaïs Observed ( 1973 ) by Robert Snyder, Nin says House of Incest was based on dreams she'd had for more than a year.

By the end of this volume, Henry has published Tropic of Cancer ( novel ) and she has completed House of Incest ( published, 1936 ) and Winter of Artifice ( published 1939 ).

As well as providing a personal record of events, her diaries also chronicle the writing of various works including the novella Djuna from Winter of Artifice and Alraune which was later titled House of Incest.

It is the similarity between Estella's hands and Molly's ( `` The action of her fingers was like the action of knitting '' ) that provides Pip with a vital clue to the real identity of both and establishes a symbolic connection between the underworld of crime and the genteel cruelty of Satis House.

Pip imagines how Estella would look down upon Joe's hands, roughened by work in the smithy, and the deliberate contrast between her white hands and his blackened ones is made to symbolize the opposition of values between which Pip struggles -- idleness and work, artificiality and naturalness, gentility and commonness, coldness and affection -- in fact, between Satis House and the forge.
