ANAÏS NIN

The official Anais Nin literary journal. This issue contains the early correspondence between Anais Nin and the agent who would help propel her to long-sought fame, Gunther Stuhlmann. The letters reveal the seeming hopelessness of Nin's quest for wide readership in the late fifties and early sixties, with descriptions of the mighty yet vain efforts to land an important American publisher. Twelve contributors--Richard Pine, Javant Biarujia, Toyoko Yamamoto, Katrin Burtschell, Karl Orend, Sarah King, Nabila Marzouk, James Clawson, Shyamal Bagchee, Jane Keller, Candace Fertile, and Pamela Francis--offer insightful and informative essays, poetry, and book reviews. Included in Vol. 3 are articles concerning Nin's two great literary allies in Paris, Henry Miller and Lawrence Durrell, and a look at the life of one of Nin's most enigmatic muses, June, Miller's wife. The journal has an associated web site and online discussion group.

The original, uncensored 1939 edition of Anais Nin's third book and second volume of fiction is republished for the first time anywhere. Not to be confused with other Nin books titled 'Winter of Artifice,' which have dramatically different contents, these novellas that draw on Nin's experiences are occasionally so graphic in detail that the book was, according to Nin, banned in America. The depiction of the love triangle among Hans, Johanna, and the narrator in "Djuna" is the precursor of Nin's magnificent 'Henry and June,' the first volume of Nin's unexpurgated diary, the movie version of which was the first film to receive the NC-17 rating. One of the few surviving copies of 'The Winter of Artifice' was used to produce this facsimile.
