A review by claire_luna
Under a Glass Bell by Anaïs Nin

3.0

This collection of short stories was a challenge for me. A few of the stories were 4, maybe even 5 star reads, but there were also stories that I not only didn't connect to, but that I simply didn't understand. I'd probably have to dive into Nin's writing more thoroughly, preferably with someone to discuss it with in order to gain a fuller appreciation of it. As it was, this reading experience was a bit lacking. I often felt confused by her metaphoric language, though other times her style was incredibly resounding and engaging. I am definitely interested in reading more of her work eventually, but now is not the time.
