Anais Nin

Anaïs Nin was a French-Cuban-American diarist, essayist, and novelist. She is best known for her journals and memoirs. Nin is honored for her diaries, which span more than 60 years, and document her inner life, personal relationships, and artistic development. Many literary critics hailed Anaïs Nin as one of the finest writers of female erotica.

Anaïs Nin was born in France to a Spanish-Cuban father and a Danish mother. Nin was the daughter of the composer Joaquín Nin and the classically trained singer Rosa Culmell. She spent most of her childhood in Europe but moved to the United States with her family at the age of 11.

In the 1920s, she became involved in the literary and artistic circles of Paris and New York, where she met writers such as Henry Miller and Lawrence Durrell.

Nin debuted with a short story collection called Djuna: The Life and Work of Djuna Barnes, which came out in 1939. She also published several novels, including House of Incest (1936) and A Spy in the House of Love (1954), as well as collections of her diaries.

Nin's writing often explored themes of love, sexuality, and personal identity. Her work was controversial for its frank depiction of female sexuality and its exploration of taboo subjects.

Despite this, she became a significant figure in the literary world and continues to be a feminist icon.

In 1973, before her death, Anaïs Nin received an honorary doctorate from the Philadelphia College of Art.

She was also elected to the United States National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1974, and in 1976 was presented with a Los Angeles Times Woman of the Year award.

Guilt is the one burden human beings can’t bear alone. As soon as a crime is committed, there is a telephone call, or a confession to strangers.

I think we are more severe judges of our own acts than professional judges. We judge our thoughts, our intents, our secret curses, our secret hates, not only our acts.

Also the cape held within its folds something of what she imagined was a quality possessed exclusively by man: some dash, some audacity, some swagger of freedom denied to woman.
