Anaïs Nin

French-born American author (1903–1977)

Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell[a] (AN-eye-EESSNEEN;[1]French:[ana.isnin]; February 21, 1903 – January 14, 1977) was a French-born American diarist, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica. Born to Cuban parents in France, Nin was the daughter of the composer Joaquín Nin and the classically trained singer Rosa Culmell. Nin spent her early years in Spain and Cuba, about sixteen years in Paris (1924–1940), and the remaining half of her life in the United States, where she became an established author.

Anna was a fiery woman of daunting intellectual brilliance and often fiercely warm feelings. She was protective of people she cared for. The author of many distinguished books on French Symbolism and Surrealism and a magnificent biography of Andre Breton, Magus of Surrealism, Anna was the foremost authority in the U.S. on Surrealism in all the arts. As my dissertation director at N.Y.U., she inspired me to write an ambitious piece of work that was immediately published.

I will not quickly forget Anna’s challenge to a member of the English Department during my thesis defense. She threatened to walk out if he did not change his line of questioning which, she declared, was not appropriate for an oral exam. Later, when I told her I was planning to marry a Serb, she exclaimed, at a reception at the French House, “Oh! That’s wonderful! Serbs are very passionate people!”
