Biography/History:

Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell (February 21, 1903 - January 14, 1977), known professionally as Anaïs Nin (/æn?.i?s ni?n/),[1]was a French-American diarist, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica. Born to Cuban parents in France, Nin was the daughter of composer Joaquín Nin and Rosa Culmell, a classically trained singer. Nin spent her early years inSpain and Cuba, about sixteen years in Paris (1924-1940), and the remaining half of her life in the United States, where she became an established author. .

Summary:

Anais Nin, filmed at the point in her life when she was passing from being a bohemian writer to being a widely read figure taken up by a new generation, reads selections from volume one of her just (1966) published <i>Diary</i>. This diary eventually went into many volumes and through its brutal honesty made her something of a cult figure on college campuses and in the new "women's liberation" movement. Many photos from her personal collection illustrate her life and world. The key passages read here deal with her childhood, her decision to keep a diary as a never-ending letter to her absent father, Europe in the 1930's, Henry Miller and his friends, and her fascination for the Surrealist movement and for psychoanalysis. .
