Corazón cuarteado forma parte de esa gran novela continua que la autora norteamericana de origen catalán se propuso escribir como complemento a sus Diarios. El título refleja una doble alusión: la historia de una relación amorosa que nace, culmina y se resquebraja a lo largo de estas páginas; y la ambigüedad y ambivalencia de los sentimientos de Djuna, la protagonista, cegada por las imágenes que segrega su propio amor. Porque para Djuna, como para la terminología heráldica, el corazón cuarteado es, también, el corazón dividido en cuatro partes independientes, en cuatro espacios distintos, incomunicados, aunque igualmente profundos y capaces de amar con sinceridad. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The Four-Chambered Heart, Anaïs Nin's 1950 novel, recounts the real-life affair she conducted with café guitarist Gonzalo Moré in 1936. Nin and Moré rented a house-boat on the Seine, and under the pervading influence of the boat's watchman and Moré's wife Helba, developed a relationship. Moré named the boat Nanankepichu, meaning "not really a home." In the novel, which Nin drew from her experiences on the boat, the characters are clearly based. Djuna is an embodiment of Nin herself. A young dancer in search of fulfillment, she encapsulates all that the author was striving for at that time. The character of Djuna features in other novels, perhaps weaving a directly autobiographical thread into Nin's fiction. The gypsy musician, Rango, is therefore Moré, and his invalid wife is Zora. The old watchman is present as a force which, along with Zora, works against the lovers in their quest for happiness. Nin's main concern is the "outside," and how it affects the "interior." Water is a cleverly used theme. "I have no great fear of depths," says Djuna, "and a great fear of shallow living." Rango and Djuna's relationship is, in effect, their effort to remain afloat. Often, Nin employs a stream of consciousness, especially in her flowing analyses of love, life and music, which continues the water image. Anaïs Nin's writing is typically exquisite in its detail and texture. She describes Paris: its "black lacquered cobblestones" and "silver filigree trees." The "humid scarfs of fog" on the river, and "the sharp incense of roasted chestnuts" reveal their source through their reality: Nin's personal experience.
