FTV 203 The Diary of Anaïs Nin

This episode of From the Vault wraps up a month-long series honoring Women’s History Month by featuring novelist and diarist Anaïs Nin in a historic interview from Pacifica Radio Archives. This audio was selected by special guest poet and Anaïs Nin scholar Steven Reigns. Recorded in 1966 just before the release of Nin’s iconic, feminist work The Diary of Anaïs Nin, interviewer Francis Roberts speaks on intimate terms with Nin about her differing writing styles, the origins of her diary, and her relationships with notable figures such as Henry Miller, June Miller, Antonin Artaud, Otto Rank, and her father, Joaquin Nin. This sliver of sound nearly forty five years old introduces us to Nin’s life, and helps to explain her motivation to publish her highly personal diary of many thousands of pages; indeed, this recording cuts through the long-standing perception of a wild woman with a life highly erotic and relationships exaggerated, guiding us to remember instead that she was a magnificent and prolific writer and reader.
