I adore Anais Nin's insights, her honesty, the way fire rolls off her tongue like something suddenly coming alive--
And I so wish I could have been at 92nd Street in New York in 1977 when she read excerpts from her some of her diaries.
I guess the next best thing was listening to that lush, french accent as she read, laughed, and answered some of the audience's quesions about her favorite books, authors, and of course, Henery Miller!
Someone had asked Anais if she were a Romantic--and I loved her answer--"I once was in Italy and I saw a lovely house-boat which I would have loved to live in for a year--and then one day years later, I picked up a newspaper and noticed there was a house-boat for sale. I went to look at it--But if I hadn't romanticized earlier about this houseboat--I would not have been aware of this. This is romanticim to me."
Interesting.
Excerpts from The Diary of Anais Nin is worth listening to--allow the fire to flow into your ears!

To hear Ms. Nin's sweet voice after reading her works for 25 years was mesmerizing and unexplicably delicious and delightful! She brought the selections to life as no other reader could have. If you love Anais Nin, this is a must-have!!
