At volume four of her diaries, I'm really just luxuriating in her prose. But with the intensity of her feelings, this is truly a one-volume-a-year treat for me. The amount of romance and romanticising she compacts into every aspect of her life complements her writing. In the hands of a different writer, the reality of the awfulness of these characters might puncture the dreamy veil that Nin casts over my eyes. ( ) no reviews | add a review

The fourth volume of "one of the most remarkable diaries in the history of letters" (Los Angeles Times). The renowned diarist continues her record of her personal, professional, and artistic life, recounting her experiences in Greenwich Village for several years in the late 1940s, where she defends young writers against the Establishment--and her trip across the country in an old Ford to California and Mexico. "[Nin is] one of the most extraordinary and unconventional writers of [the twentieth] century." --The New York Times Book Review Edited and with a preface by Gunther Stuhlmann No library descriptions found. |
