Book Reviews of Anais Nin: A Biography
Book Review: A Good Competent Biography
Summary: 4 Stars
Like many young adults I was fascinated and inspired by Nin's Diaries when I read them in the seventies. Lately I've been rereading them along with Bair's biography. I was aware that Nin's life was more complex and checkered than what she described, so I came to Bair's book for a more objective account. I think Bair succeeds and without the venom some reviewers here ascribe to this work.As to the deeper understandings of what really made Nin tick, Bair speculates at times, but the mystery largely remains. However, I find this typical of biographies.
