Publisher Description
From her famous diaries, that she began in 1914 at the age of eleven, Anais Nin reads passages which reflect the recurring themes of her work. In a slow, clear, heavily accented, hypnotic voice, Nin draws the listener into her spell–binding stories of a highly personal world as she paints a vivid picture of a woman as artist and self. This is an extraordinary, historic, archival, and memorable recording which speaks in a fresh voice to new generations.

“[Nin’s] charm, vivid style, and intellectual acumen penetrate her heavy accent and inexpert delivery. Her often humorous asides add resonance. This volume is an entertaining footnote to her oeuvres and to the literary history of the previous century.”

— Newsweek, on The Diary of Anaïs Nin -
“No other diarist could bring us her life, experience, thoughts, and emotions with such intensive vividness.”
— Cahier du Livre (Tokyo), on The Diary of Anaïs Nin
