The Early Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1923-1927

A revealing look at the life of this "extraordinary and unconventional writer" during the mid-1920s (The New York Times Book Review). In this volume of her earlier series of personal diaries, Anaïs Nin tells how she exorcised the obsession that threatened her marriage-and nearly drove her to suicide. "Through sheer nerve, confidence, and will, Nin made of the everyday something magical. This was a gift, indeed, and it's a fascinating process to witness." -The Christian Science Monitor With an editor's note by Rupert Pole and a preface by Joaquin Nin-Culmell
