About the Author:
"The pieces in this collection belong to a peculiar genre sometimes cultivated by the late Virginia Woolf. They are half short stories, half dreams, and they mix a sometimes exquisite poetry with a homely realistic observation. . . . Miss Nin is a very good artist, as perhaps none of the literary Surrealists is."
--Edmund Wilson, "New Yorker"
The pieces in this collection belong to a peculiar genre sometimes cultivated by the late Virginia Woolf. They are half short stories, half dreams, and they mix a sometimes exquisite poetry with a homely realistic observation. They take place in a special world, a world of feminine perception and fancy. Miss Nin is a very good artist, as perhaps none of the literary Surrealists is.

From being a cult figure in the early feminist movement, Anaïs Nin later rose to international prominence with her writing. Characterized by the use of powerful - and at times disquieting - imagery, her work reveals great sensitivity and perception. These thirteen short stories are no exception, and with a "touch as light as a cobweb and colouring made of mirages" she penetrates the emotional depths of the individual in a world where illusion is the key to reality.' (Quotes taken from the back cover) ***A sixth printing of the first UK paperback edition, published in 1986 in the Penguin Modern Classics series, in very good condition. A nice illustrated reading copy. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # PB602
