What a narcissistic, egocentric bigamist! To me, she was a wannabe; she traveled and paid for the upkeep of men who were more famous than herself. I couldn't believe that she thought she had anything worthwhile to say as an 11-year-old, yet she had all her diaries printed. Anais Nin struck me as a 'user' of the lowest rank. She used the money her husband gave her to support other men. Then she was married to two men at the same time. This woman seemed to be amoral and proud to flaunt her ability to thumb her nose at the moral conventions of the time.
Reading this interesting story of Anais Nin's life saved me from making the mistake of reading anything else about or by this woman.
The writing was excellent; the subject was awful.
