Page "Anaïs Nin" Paragraph 14

Anaïs Nin is perhaps best remembered as a diarist.

Her journals, which span several decades, provide a deeply explorative insight into her personal life and relationships.

Nin was acquainted, often quite intimately, with a number of prominent authors, artists, psychoanalysts, and other figures, and wrote of them often, especially Otto Rank.

Moreover, as a female author describing a primarily masculine constellation of celebrities, Nin's journals have acquired importance as a counterbalancing perspective.
