Anaïs Nin (; born Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell, February 21, 1903 – January 14, 1977 ) was a French-Cuban author, based at first in France and later in the United States, who published her journals, which span more than 60 years, beginning when she was 11 years old and ending shortly before her death, her erotic literature, and short stories.

Anaïs Nin was born in Neuilly, France, to artistic parents.

After her parents separated, her mother moved Anaïs and her two brothers, Thorvald Nin and Joaquin Nin-Culmell, to Barcelona, and then to New York City.

Anaïs Nin is perhaps best remembered as a diarist.

Previously unpublished works are coming to light in A Café in Space, the Anaïs Nin Literary Journal, which most recently includes " Anaïs Nin and Joaquín Nin y Castellanos: Prelude to a Symphony — Letters between a father and daughter.

Although Miller had little or no money the first year in Paris, things began to change with the meeting of Anaïs Nin who, with Hugh Guiler, would go on to pay his entire way through the 1930s including the rent for the beautiful and modern apartment at 18, villa Seurat.

Anaïs Nin became his lover and financed the first printing of Tropic of Cancer in 1934 with money from Otto Rank.

In 1914 he married for the first time to a Frenchwoman, Anaïs Folin, whom he used as the model for most of his early etchings of young womanhood ( especially from 1920 till 1934 ).

After the band's first split, Anaïs tried her hand at modeling and went to fashion school.

Reluctant at first, she responds to the " firm hand " of Madame Anaïs, who names her ' Belle de Jour ', and has sex with the stranger.

Originally published in 1936, it is Anaïs Nin's first work of fiction.

When Anaïs Nin first meets Henry Miller ( Fred Ward ), she sees in him a rough man from New York.

D. H. Lawrence: An Unprofessional Study was Anaïs Nin's first book in print, published by Edward W. Titus in Paris, 1932.

It is also different in that it takes place on two continents, has about two dozen important characters, and for the first time in Anaïs Nin's work the female lead is not seeking psychological wholeness.

Under a Glass Bell, originally published in 1944, was the first book by Anaïs Nin to gain attention from the literary establishment.

Henry Miller's 1934 novel, Tropic of Cancer, had explicit sexual passages and could not be published in the United States ; Obelisk published five more books by Miller, as well as Richard Aldington's Death of a Hero ( 1930 ), Anaïs Nin's Winter of Artifice ( 1939 ), Cyril Connolly's first book and only novel, The Rock Pool ( 1936 ), James Joyce's Haveth Childers Everywhere and Pomes Penyeach ( 1932 ), Frank Harris's My Life and Loves ( 1934 ) and Lawrence Durrell's The Black Book ( 1938 ), Squadron 95 by war hero Harold Buckley, James Hanley's Boy ( 1935 ) and Limericks by Norman Douglas.

Anaïs Nin writes that she first met Alfred Perlès in April, 1932 ( ref: Diaries, Volume I, 1931-1934, 1966, p. 62.

It is a continuation of the diary entries first published in Henry and June: From the Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin.

The Diary of Anaïs Nin is the published version of Anaïs Nin's own private manuscript diary, which she began at age 11 in 1914 during a trip from Europe to New York with her mother and two brothers.

This is because in 1986, Rupert Pole, Anaïs Nin's widower and literary executor, began to publish what are now termed the " unexpurgated " versions of the diary.

Hugh Parker Guiler, the husband of author Anaïs Nin, began his art career as a fumage artist.

As was eventually revealed in the 1990s when the unexpurgated versions of Anaïs Nin's diaries were published, Anaïs Nin claims to have had an incestuous relationship with her own father during her late 20s.

Incest: From a Journal of Love "— The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin ( 1932 – 1934 ) reveals that the two were also having an affair.

Henry and June: From the Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin ( full title Henry and June: From A Journal of Love: the Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin ( 1931 – 1932 )) is a 1986 book that is based upon material excerpted from the unpublished diaries of Anaïs Nin.
