Born to Cuban parents in France, Nin was the daughter of composer Joaquín Nin and Rosa Culmell, a classically trained singer.
Born to Cuban parents, Anais Nin – sensitive, magnetic, fashionable- was raised in Europe and New York. As an adult in Paris, she forged a fluid new literature of female consciousness. Much has been made of her erotica, but her chief artistry is in her non lurid works. Nin’s fiction and her masterpiece – a lifelong diary – explore the fractured self, her complicated feelings for her father, psychoanalysis, love, and. adventures of all sorts.
