The Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1947–1955

The fifth volume of “one of the most remarkable diaries in the history of letters” (Los Angeles Times).   Spanning from the late 1940s through the mid-1950s, this volume covers the author’s experiences in Mexico, California, New York, and Paris; her psychoanalysis; and her experiment with LSD.   “Through her own struggling and dazzling courage [Nin has] shown women . . . groping with and growing with the world.” —Minneapolis Tribune   Edited and with a preface by Gunther Stuhlmann
