Volume 4 contains the correspondence between Anais Nin, agent Gunther Stuhlmann, and publisher Alan Swallow, who together brought out the first of Nin?s famous diaries in 1966, propelling her to literary stardom. However, it didn?t come easy, as the letters testify, which are filled with hope, disillusionment, success, and heartbreak. Also included is correspondence between Nin's executor, Rupert Pole, and editor John Ferrone that illustrates the struggle between the two strong-willed men to produce Nin's first unexpurgated diary, Henry and June, from which the movie of the same title was born. |
