May, 1936: New Life

Anais Nin is back at Louveciennes after a visit to Morocco and is planning a move to a new apartment at 30 Quai de Passy by the Seine, which she needs to be modern with influences from Fez. She is envisioning and gathering orange walls, white wool rugs, chairs of pale oak and cream leather, a pine table sandblasted to resemble sand on the beach. She is still on a high from her experience in Morocco, where she went without the diary, and is feeling no jealousy or cloud of depression but seems to know that her poisonous thought process will begin again.

She has felt that she would meet a man that would deliver her from her husband Hugh and her lover Henry, and she meets that man in this entry of the diary -- Gonzalo, a guitar player, an Indian, a tiger. It is the beginning of another chapter of Anais' life where she not only has a new home, she has a new love.
