More About the Author

Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) was born in Paris and aspired at an early age to be a writer. An influential artist and thinker, she wrote primarily fiction until 1964, when her last novel, Collages, was published. She wrote The House of Incest, a prose-poem (1936), three novellas collected in The Winter of Artifice (1939), short stories collected in Under a Glass Bell (1944), and a five-volume continuous novel consisting of Ladders to Fire (1946), Children of the Albatross (1947), The Four-Chambered Heart (1950), A Spy in the House of Love (1954), and Seduction of the Minotaur (1961). These novels were collected as Cities of the Interior (1974). She gained commercial and critical success with the publication of the first volume of her diary (1966); to date, fifteen diary volumes have been published. Her most commercially successful books were her erotica published as Delta of Venus (1977) and Little Birds (1979). Today, her books are appearing digitally.

This review is from: D.H. Lawrence: An Unprofessional Study (Paperback)

D.H. Lawrence was obviously an enormous influence on Nin. One can almost visualize the young Nin being titilated by Women in Love or Lady Chatterlys Lover. Lawrence, no doubt, inspired Ms Nin to take up the pen in the first place. This unprofessional study is her tribute to this great writer. It is highly subjective (as is most criticism written by writers on other writers.) Nin touches on all aspects of Lawrence writing. She also lends a much needed feminine voice to the analysis of Lawrence. She seems to intuitively respond to the characters of Lawrence. This study really hits the spot. It is essential reading for any student of Lawrence. It also lends great insight into the artistic development of Anais Nin herself. (In some ways this book is as much about Nin as it is about Lawrence.) This study contains some outstanding writing from an author often undeservedly overshadowed by Henry Miller. This book should help to cement her own literary rank as a top notch writer.
