I just can't get a break with this page, can I? First I publish it, and I am told I am violating copyright by quoting my own work. Then when it is finally allowed, I am told it needs to be cleaned up. Well, someone else do it. Aesculapius75 09:37, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

When will this show up again? There is no copyright violation. This is so annoying. -- Aesculapius75

I am the author of the material on Amazon.com from which this page about "House of Incest" is based. -- Aesculapius75

If you are, then I suggest you mention it at Wikipedia:Copyright problems as per point 2 of the Possible Copyright Violation notice which now replaces the article. I would also recommend signing your posts. --TheParanoidOne 2 July 2005 20:42 (UTC)

[edit] on language and incest

"House of Incest", and the Diaries too, have originally been written and published in English, though Nin was living in France at the time. I therefore suggest to write "english" in the infobox and to correct the erroneous information about the "US translation" edition by Gemor Press (it is only an american edition, not translation). It seems like Gemor Press was Nin's own printing press as well.

Also, I would like to mention that in the expurged diaries, it is not said that Nin's analyst (neither Allendy nor Rank) have ever encouraged the incestuous sexual relations with her father before it happened, though she seaked -- and found --- "absolution" from Rank afterwards. The sentence in the article about it is ambiguous. --132.208.50.6 22:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
