| Description: |
| 1 page TLs from Anaïs Nin, with her holograph corrections. |
| Nin writes to Miller: "Dear Henry: I will make the changes you request, but I am astonished at them, for now that you are a beloved and respected person to the whole world, how can you not laugh at all these adventures, you with your great sense of humor who felt free to write anything, and free to let others write anything (Fred or Durrell)...It is the world who will be amazed. All that episode to me is highly comic, ironic. And the way you quote the part where you say you can't do it anymore, and I say but what about me? We were both laughing. There was good humor, good feeling then...Yet in your letter about the entire diary there is not one moment of amusement, one moment of warmth, of friendliness...You who taught me detachment, to see beyond the personal as well. You who taught spontaneity and freedom and humor about our humanity. Diary 3 explodes the myths about all of us...." A fine and riveting letter about Miller's censorship of Nin's diaries. |
