Recollections of Anaïs Nin: By Her Contemporaries

by Benjamin Franklin V, Benjamin Franklin V (Editor)

Overview

Recollections of Anaïs Nin presents Nin through the eyes of twenty-six people who knew her. She is the unconventional, distant aunt; the thoughtful friend; the owner of a strangely disarming voice; the author eager for attention yet hypersensitive to criticism; the generous advisor to a literary magazine; the adulteress; the beautiful septuagenarian; the recommender of books—the contributors elaborate on thses and many other perceptions of Nin.

Readers of this book will meet one of the most enigmatic literary women of the twentieth century.
