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.

I bought this book for a friend. Thus I cannot review it. I never read the book.
