Although being an activist anti wars and a feminist, Anais avoided being in no party as a member. Because she didn't believe in ideologies and did not wanted to be manipulated. She thought freedom came from within. She started writing erotic stories, that also made her well known. All time in touch or being part of relevant intellectual circles, she's usually related with Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell and psychoanalyst Otto Rank. Though treated many others, as Gore Vidal, Steinbeck, Edmund Wilson, Artaud, etc. Her affairs and friendships are legendary and you better read her Journals to know about. So, to read her is to know how they were and what they thought, some of the most important highbrows of the twentieth century. And believe me, you couldn't have a better, qualified, witness of such a scenary. Her opinions counted and count a lot, she ain't no matter whom. She could be sharp and deep. Romantic at certain moments, but always touching ground. You will also watch through her wise eyes, the cruel prelude to fascism arising, that was the Spanish Civil War. And then the ghastly WWII. She was psychoanalised and became an Otto Rank assistant, after WWII, once living in New York. A very smart, cultivated and important author, she also fighted against puritanism and its hipocresy. Anais Nin wrote her Diaries or Journals and at least the first three of them, are a capital reading. One of the most clever works I've ever read. Love what she did. Besides, she lived such an interesting life that the least she could do, was write about it, you may think. The Second and Third volumes were the ones I liked most. But read the first Four ones and as said, it's all an awesome trip around the past century. These are books I've been recommending to everybody, and they all loved them, so I keep doing it here. A capital reading from every point of view. These are books that will make you think and know about many things. 💎❤️🆗👍🙏
❤ Anaïs Nin is my favourite writer of all time. She’s incredible and reading your summary of her brought tears to my eyes. I’ve never met anyone who understands…
First let me say thank you for starting this channel, and thank you for this documentary. I had just began getting interested in her work when I was drafted for that little conflict in Viet Nam. Needless to say reading was last thing on my list while there and when I came home. Finally getting around to books again and Nin on my list. Again thanks for your channel
I found some of her quotes for the first time a couple of years ago. I deeply connected to them and felt they spoke the same words as my own soul. I have never been able to forget her since. ❤
I have several of her books. Read a few others. I enjoyed her depth and sincerity. Knew nothing about her or her life. Even more interesting as a person. Thank you for this.
This struck me blindly, I was simply unaware that people wrote and published diaries. I’m so excited to dive into her work now, as soon as I finish The Age Of Innocence.
I read many of her diaries years ago. They are incredible. She wrote great observations even when she was young. It's strange that she was so good at writing about herself and her personal experience yet she really wasn't very good at pure fiction.
What brilliance and honesty. She is such an influence on women everywhere. I’m a visual artist and poet, she keeps helping me find myself. Her words are like music, clear and bright, this s the first time I’ve heard her talk! Thank you so much. And she was so extremely beautiful!❤️
lmao Only women with no concept of what marriage is or being able to go through life without having lustful relationships with men and trying to romanticize distinction instead of working to correct it.
i absolutely love these documentaries thank you very much, is there one of burroughs on this channel? if not there should be and if youd please put one up i would sincerely appreciate it. thank you kindly.

Here you have the benefit of Anais Nin's personal selection of the passages that capture her thought from the over one hundred volumes. You seem to be one of those Artaud spoke of "[Who] always want to hear 'about' . . . [and not] in the experience itself; the plague itself . . . [you] do not realize [you] are dead"
There's a new, German produced documentary on her called "Loving Highsmith". It came out this month. It's not available in the U.S. yet if that's where you are, but keep your eyes open for it, because they interviewed her surviving friends and family. There is one other documentary on her not already on RUclips. It came out in 2004 on the BBC, and I'll keep my eyes open for that. Highsmith led an interesting life. Good suggestion

The killing of her baby? Can you please elaborate?

I'll do some digging.
I loved her movie with Kenneth Anger. That was at her real house.
What happened to Anais Nin in 1941? Her friends had fled to Marseilles and gone underground.
She went back to America and lived in New York

Walking in nature, especially in the woods, has many beneficial effects, apparently. I hiked in the woods for many years without knowing how much good it was doing for me.
The Japanese have made something of a science out of it.

I agree the high pitch and the lisp.. is way too much

Yes and I think she seems miserable and striving after that which will never be attained. Chronic dissatisfaction.

Never heard her voice before! I expected it to be lower.
Low enough to make your upper thighs quiver?
