Diary of Anaïs Nin

Spanning from the late 1940s through the mid-1950s, this volume covers the author's experiences in Mexico, California, New York, and Paris; her psychoanalysis; and her experiment with LSD.

Anaïs Nin continues "one of the most remarkable diaries in the history of letters" with this volume covering more than a decade of her midcentury life (Los Angeles Times). She debates the use of drugs versus the artist's imagination; portrays many famous people in the arts; and recounts her visits to Sweden, the Brussels World's Fair, Paris, and Venice.

The seventh and final volume of the author's 'remarkable' diary is filled with the reflections of an older woman as she journeys through the world (Los Angeles Times). 'One of the most remarkable diaries in the history of letters' ends as the author wished: not with her last two years of pain but at a joyous moment on a trip to Bali (Los Angeles Times). As she ages, Anaïs Nin reflects on how the deeply personal and introspective nature of her writings intertwines with her public life and her connections with other people, including her devoted readers. Edited and with a preface by Gunther Stuhlmann.
