Summary

Nin's importance as a feminist and visionary is finally revealed. Based on a new examination of long-buried letters, papers, and original manuscripts held at UCLA and found in Nin's Los Angeles home, Spy in the House of Anais Nin takes a penetrating look at Nin's incredible life and famous diary. Firmly placing Nin in her historical context as a feminist and visionary, this collection of essays lifts the lid on the origins of Nin's secrets and lies, gives voice to her husband via an unpublished letter, reveals Nin's real politics, and discloses the truth of Gore Vidal’s feelings for Nin via an unearthed love letter from Vidal to Nin. With this book, author Kim Krizan serves as the ultimate spy, conducting deep background on Anais Nin - the notorious, rule-shattering diarist who was the self-proclaimed Spy in the House of Love.

Finally...

A biographical work that scratches the itch of the missing gaps from reading Nin’s writing - Who was her husband whom she never mentions? etc

After the initial couple of essays, the fascinating, biographical content really gets going. ‘Ze Fronch akzent’ of the narrator doing Nin’s voice is jarring but you get used to it and it’s worth it for the best piece of biographical writing on Nin, written by an insider, exhaustively researched.
