Isabel Agende did not intend to write a memoir. She started using Paula as a letter to her daughter. And I summarized her disappearance while sleeping in a coma condition caused by porphyria. Due to Isabel and her family's broken heart, Paula never recovered, but she kept writing down some of her letters incorporating some of the classic elements of magical realism . Anais wrote to Henry, "We are writers, we create art for our fight." Writers spent a short time in the early 1930's, but for 21 years replacing love letters! This is my favorite passage from Miller to Nin.
