Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Anais Nin was the quintessential femme fatale, renowned for her passionate love affairs and bold sexual exploits, including her simultaneous relationships with Henry and June Miller and her bigamous marriages. In the mid-1920s, seeking to escape American Victorianism, she moved to Paris, immersing herself in the vibrant artistic circles of the Left Bank. Throughout her life, she embodied the liberated woman, authoring over a dozen books of fiction and erotica, and embracing relationships with both men and women while navigating the avant-garde scenes of Paris, Los Angeles, and New York. Her Diary, published in multiple volumes, has been celebrated as a groundbreaking work by literary critics and feminists, with Kate Millett describing it as "the first real portrait of the artist as a woman." However, despite its rich detail, Nin's published diary only presents a stylized image of herself, concealing her true self within a complex literary facade. In this intimate examination of Nin's life, biographer Noel Riley Fitch offers a candid portrayal of her passionate and tumultuous existence, revealing the deep-seated insecurities stemming from her troubled childhood, including a traumatic reunion with her father at age thirty. This long-awaited account aims to complement and clarify the carefully crafted image Nin created in her diary.
