Anaïs Nin speaks in her intimate voice on her philosophies of society, culture, and feminism, reflecting on over six decades of literary life in countries including France and the USA. This copy was inscribed in 1977, two years before her death, to publisher Peter Owen “Hoping you’ll publish it in England/With Friendship Anaïs.” A lovely association copy documenting a writer hustling to get her work into the world.
