Page "Anaïs Nin" Paragraph 5

Nin left Paris in the late summer of 1939, when residents from overseas were urged to leave France due to the upcoming war and returned to New York City with Guiler ( who was, on his own wish, all but edited out of her diaries published in her lifetime and whose role in her life is therefore difficult to gauge ).

During the war, Nin sent her books to Frances Steloff of the Gotham Book Mart in New York for safekeeping.
