In The Novel of the Future, Anaïs Nin explores the act of creation—in film, art, and dance as well as literature—to chart a new direction for the young artist struggling against what she perceived as the sterility, formlessness, and spiritual bankruptcy afflicting much of mid-twentieth-century fiction.
Anaïs Nin (1903–1977) is an iconic literary figure and one of the most notable experimental writers of the twentieth century. As one of the first women to explore female erotica, Nin revealed the inner desires of her characters in a way that made her works a touchstone for later feminist writers. Swallow Press is the premier US publisher of books by and about Nin. Deirdre Bair is author of Anaïs Nin: A Biography and the National Book Award-winning Samuel Beckett: A Biography.
“Modern fiction has seldom been so incisively and sensitively
analyzed.”
*Library Journal*
“Miss Nin writes not only for the writer and the artist but for
everyone.”
*Los Angeles Times*
