Book excerpt: "Anaïs Nin, in 1955, was for all practical purposes a failed writer. She could interest no publisher in her introspective and feminine fiction, nor could she keep her past titles in print. But at the same time, she was keeping a diary begun when she was eleven years old. In The Diary of Others, Nin begins to realize that the diary itself was her most valuable writing, but she wonders how she could ever publish such a document, filled with love affairs and deceptions as well as incest and bigamy, without harming those she held most dear-her brother, her lover, and especially her husband of more than thirty years. When The Diary of Others opens, Nin has recently (and bigamously) married Rupert Pole, her young lover in California; she then struggles to keep a bicoastal double marriage alive, and she vainly seeks a publisher for her novels. She later begins a collaboration with two men who would change her fortunes-literary agent Gunther Stuhlmann and publisher Alan Swallow. And she is aided both financially and commercially by her long-estranged lover and colleague Henry Miller, whose rise to fame after the famous obscenity trials has given him the financial freedom to offer Nin the proceeds from the publication of his letters to her during the 1930s and '40s. After much deliberation, Nin comes up with a formula that allows her to publish her long-anticipated Paris diaries in such a way that she can describe her personal growth and relationships with fascinating characters such as Miller, Otto Rank and Antonin Artaud without disclosing the intimate details of her life. The Diary of Others documents Anaïs Nin's ascension from obscurity and commercial failure to sudden vindication, validation and fame"--

Book Synopsis Mirages by : Anaïs Nin

Download or read book Mirages written by Anaïs Nin. This book was released on 2013-10-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirages opens at the dawn of World War II, when Anaïs Nin fled Paris, where she lived for fifteen years with her husband, banker Hugh Guiler, and ends in 1947 when she meets the man who would be “the One,” the lover who would satisfy her insatiable hunger for connection. In the middle looms a period Nin describes as “hell,” during which she experiences a kind of erotic madness, a delirium that fuels her search for love. As a child suffering abandonment by her father, Anaïs wrote, “Close your eyes to the ugly things,” and, against a horrifying backdrop of war and death, Nin combats the world’s darkness with her own search for light. Mirages collects, for the first time, the story that was cut from all of Nin’s other published diaries, particularly volumes 3 and 4 of The Diary of Anaïs Nin, which cover the same time period. It is the long-awaited successor to the previous unexpurgated diaries Henry and June, Incest, Fire, and Nearer the Moon. Mirages answers the questions Nin readers have been asking for decades: What led to the demise of Nin’s love affair with Henry Miller? Just how troubled was her marriage to Hugh Guiler? What is the story behind Nin’s “children,” the effeminate young men she seemed to collect at will? Mirages is a deeply personal story of heartbreak, despair, desperation, carnage, and deep mourning, but it is also one of courage, persistence, evolution, and redemption that reaches beyond the personal to the universal.
