The Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1955–1966The sixth volume of the diary of “one of the most extraordinary and unconventional writers of [the twentieth] century” (The New York Times Book Review). Anaïs Nin continues “one of the most remarkable diaries in the history of letters” with this volume covering more than a decade of her midcentury life (Los Angeles Times). She debates the use of drugs versus the artist’s imagination; portrays many famous people in the arts; and recounts her visits to Sweden, the Brussels World’s Fair, Paris, and Venice. “[Nin] looks at life, love, and art with a blend of gentility and acuity that is rare in contemporary writing.” —John Barkham Reviews Edited and with a preface by Gunther Stuhlmann |
