Recollections of Anais Nin

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.
