"A good writer is not necessarily a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender."

These rich perceptions of Anais Nin will permit us to become further acquainted with one of the most enigmatic literary women of the twentieth century: She is the unconventional, distant aunt; the thoughtful friend; the owner of the strangely disarming voice; the author eager for attention yet hypersensitive to criticism; the generous advisor to a literary magazine; the adulteress; the beautiful septuagenarian; the recommender of books.
| | | | Annotation
Anans Nin "engendered strong responses in people. Many not only admired but also idolized her; others viewed her skeptically," Benjamin Franklin V asserts in his introduction to Recollections of Anans Nin by Her Contemporaries. He has gathered "honest, accurate impressions" from "people who knew her in varying degrees of intimacy: from a niece to students to friends to critics, to people who met her only once and do not claim to have known her well." The focus is on Nin, the unique, very complicated and not always likable person, rather than on her diaries and psychological fiction.
