Why Anais?
Anais Nin remains one of the most refined writers of female-oriented erotica. She transformed her considerable sexual experiences into stories about women and their sexuality. This was quite rare at the time, and remains something that is not fully explored today. Her lifelong interest in psychoanalysis fueled her habit of journaling, and her understanding and lack of judgment in all things sexual is fascinating even today. Anais explored these adventures and states of mind with an intimate delicacy that is unique to her.
She chose to live her life as a liberated woman, and fought for a long time to be understood and appreciated, even going so far as to buy her own publishing house to publish her own writings. For Anais Nin, independence and autonomy were essential to both her existence and her writing. She needed her own space to be in touch with the intimacy that nourished her work, free from narrow thoughts and societal norms. In her diaries, she gives us a story that is autobiographical, reflective, and completely subjective. But her vision and female voice are also our voices. Her writings become like a mirror that reflects our female selves.
